MOVING HOME MINNESOTA

Moving Home Minnesota (MHM) is a federal demonstration project. The goal of MHM is to create opportunities for Minnesotans to move from institutions to their own home in the community. MHM promotes the development and implementation of transition plans that reflect the preferences of those receiving services and the opportunity to receive services in the most integrated setting.
Lead agencies (counties, tribes or health plans) will assign a transition coordinator to each person receiving MHM services. The transition coordinator will help create a plan to transition the person back to the community.

ELIGIBILITY AND FACILITIES

People who receive MHM services must transition from a qualified institution where they have resided for 60 days or more to a qualified community residence. They must also be eligible for Medical Assistance (MA) prior to discharge and maintain eligibility. The 60-day requirement may be fulfilled through sequential stays in multiple qualifying institutions.

    1. Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Hospitals (CABHH)
