🌟 Friday Fact: Support + Housing for Independent Living 🏡✨

Did you know… you can pair HCBS waivers with Housing Choice Vouchers to create a stable, independent living situation?

HCBS provides in-home supports like personal care and therapy, while vouchers help cover rent in the private market 💼

That can mean:

🔹 In-home support services tailored to your needs
🔹 Help paying rent through a Housing Choice Voucher
🔹 Greater independence, safety, and flexibility at home

Why It Works:

✔ Combines services and housing support
✔ Helps individuals live in their own community
✔ Supports long-term stability and independence

Who’s Eligible:

🔹 HCBS Waivers: Medicaid-eligible individuals meeting disability or functional criteria
🔹 Housing Choice Vouchers: Low-income individuals, often including people with disabilities, through local housing authorities

What Most People Don’t Know:

🔹 You can use both programs together
🔹 Planning ahead is important due to voucher waitlists
🔹 This pairing supports community integration, aligned with the Olmstead principle

🎯 Big takeaway: You don’t have to choose between support and housing—with the right resources, you can have both.

🌟 Friday Fact: Planning for a Loved One’s Future 🏡✨

Did you know… you can leave your family home to a loved one with a disability without risking their benefits or needing an expensive private trust?

A Special Needs Trust (SNT) managed by a nonprofit—like enTRUST Services, LLC—can help protect SSI, Medicaid, and more 💼

That can mean:
🔹 The trust can accept and manage the home
🔹 Ongoing expenses like taxes, utilities, and maintenance are handled
🔹 Funds are used for supplemental needs while preserving benefits

Why Families Love It:
✔ More affordable than many private attorney-managed trusts
✔ Professional oversight from experienced nonprofit trustees
✔ Supports independent living alongside HCBS services

What Most People Don’t Know:
🔹 A home can be placed directly into a Special Needs Trust
🔹 Planning ahead makes the process smoother and more secure
🔹 Clear instructions in the trust help ensure your loved one’s needs are met long-term

🎯 Big takeaway: You can protect your loved one’s future and their benefits—with the right plan in place.

At enTRUST Services, LLC, we help families create smart, affordable solutions that support independence and long-term security. Reach out to learn more!

Why Benefits Counselors Love It:

What Most People Don’t Know:
