The bill would add services provided in assisted living residences to mandatory Medicaid medical assistance, subject to state law, eligibility requirements, and a projected per-person Medicaid cost no greater than comparable hospital or nursing-facility care. The Medicaid changes would generally take effect January 1, 2027, with a possible delay for states needing legislation. It would also require low-income housing tax-credit allocation plans to consider projects that provide long-term services and supports for elderly people in non-institutional settings, applying to allocations made after January 1, 2027.
