Hennepin Healthcare Foundation and its partners will develop a new Medicaid benefit for access to respite care service for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. They will co-design the benefit with the Minnesota Department of Human Services. If all goes as planned, this benefit and the design of the recuperative program will be spread throughout Minnesota to meet the respite care needs of these individuals. This will also save costs for health care, housing, and criminal justice systems.
