MFP Guidance for Participant PlacementIn Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs)

The guidance was designed to assist RTC’s in understanding MFP’s expectations surrounding ALF placements by addressing the following concerns:

Concerns from RTC’s about MFP not allowing participants to transition into ALF’s that don’t currently meet the HCBS Settings Rule

Concerns from Waiver partners that MFP participants are not being informed of the risks of moving into a ALF that may not meet the rule in future

Concerns that MFP participants are not being informed of other community housing options
