What is…Foundational Community Support FCS?
Foundational Community Supports (FCS) provides supportive housing and supported employment services to our most vulnerable Medicaid beneficiaries. These services are designed to promote self-sufficiency and recovery by helping participants find and maintain stable housing and employment.
Supportive housing services help individuals get and keep community housing.
Supported employment services help individuals with barriers to employment get and keep a job.
Who is eligible for the FCS program?
FCS is a targeted Medicaid benefit designed to meet the needs of individuals with significant barriers to finding stable housing and employment. Participants must be Medicaid-eligible and meet certain age requirements, along with meeting specific medical risk factors including chronic homelessness, complex behavioral health and co-occurring substance use needs among others, as well as a disability or other long-term care needs.
FCS does not pay for rent, rental subsidies, wages, or wage enhancements.
