Requires DHS to issue guidance on housing-related services for Medicaid beneficiaries.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create guidance connecting Medicaid recipients with housing-related services and resources. The legislation mandates the development of a memorandum of understanding between health agencies and housing organizations to align eligibility rules and track outcomes like housing stability and health improvements. Additionally, the state must provide technical assistance to help housing providers understand how to receive Medicaid reimbursement for their services. Finally, the bill requires a report to be submitted to the Governor and Legislature within two years detailing the progress of these coordination efforts and any necessary changes to state funding plans.
