Why it matters for dental
HUD is offering new financial incentives for Continuum of Care (CoC) programs to adopt proven homelessness-reduction strategies, which could expand Medicaid-funded dental services at shelters and street clinics for practices that treat unhoused patients.
Key points
- The notice requests public comment on specific activities HUD proposes to reward with additional CoC funding.
- Activities must be proven to reduce or prevent homelessness to qualify for incentive payments.
- Medicaid dental providers serving CoC-funded programs may see increased patient volume or new service contracts if communities adopt the incentivized models.
- Comments on the proposed incentives are currently being solicited; no effective date is stated.
