On Friday, the state of Minnesota ended its housing stabilization services program, which was intended to help people with disabilities find and maintain housing using federal Medicaid dollars.
In August, the Minnesota Department of Human Services announced the state would be ending the housing stabilization program after finding credible allegations of fraud. Then in September, the Department of Justice charged eight people for their roles in what prosecutors describe as a “massive fraud scheme” tied to the program.
Now the program is entirely shut down. In Sherburne County, in central Minnesota, that means nearly 200 residents who were receiving services through the housing stabilization services program no longer have access to those resources. What happens to those residents now? Tony Masters, Sherburne County’s Adult and Disability Services manager, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share how residents have been impacted by the end of the program.
