Supportive Living
Housing Program
Service Description
TN Code Annotated §12-4-330 directs the Department to reimburse
certain supportive living facilities in 11 Tennessee counties. The Fiscal
Services Section administers this program. The rate of reimbursement is
$2.00 a day x 30% of eligible residents.
This service provides a supplement to eligible facilities
in certain counties in Tennessee. After a facility is certified by the
Fiscal Services Section to be eligible for the program, facilities submit
to the Section each month reimbursement forms. The Section reimburses
these claims until the funds for the program run out.

Why do we fund it?
The program is funded because of state law (see above). Most of these
facilities are underfunded and the program does provide some supplement
to these facilities.
Whom does it serve?
The program serves adults who are diagnosed with mental illness and co-occurring
disorders who are residing in supportive living facilities eligible according
to TN Code Annotated § 12-4-330.
What are the outcomes?
The program reduces the likelihood of hospitalization and the use of acute
care, increases community tenure and the likelihood of employment, ensures
that consumers receive the needed services in order to successfully integrate
into the community, improves the quality of life, and reduces the reliance
upon more costly services. The amount of funding is too small to make
a measurable difference in a facility. A home can usually expect no more
than $2,000 a year from this program
Is there research, evidence-based
practice, best practice, or literature to support Housing Services?
