Supportive Living Housing Program
TDMHDD is required by statute to reimburse certain supportive living facilities in 11 Tennessee counties. This service provides a supplement to eligible facilities in these counties. After a facility is certified to be eligible for the program, facilities submit their monthly reimbursement forms. They are reimbursed until the funds for the program run out.
Supportive living facilities are found in the following 11 counties:
Davidson Dyer Hamilton Hardeman Knox Lincoln |
Madison Obion Shelby Warren Wilson |
The program serves adults who are diagnosed with mental illness and co-occurring disorders who are residing in supportive living facilities. This 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.
