In some states, the line between housing and health care is becoming increasingly blurred. Yet in at least 20 states, some of those funds are being allocated to social services — including housing support for the homeless. At least 20 states today cover housing support services under their Medicaid program, according to the National Academy of State Health Policy (NASHP). This program "facilitates rebalancing states’ long-term care services and supports from institutional to community-based care," the agency said. "The vast majority of health variations are driven by factors completely unrelated to health care," he added.
