Action Alert: Keep the Money Follows the Person Program Alive

A new action alert has been posted to the TAHC&H advocacy site to continue funding the federal Money Follows the Person (MFP) program! The MFP demonstration program helps people of all ages move out of an institutional setting or nursing facility and back to the community.

Take action

MFP is a program where everyone wins: individuals regain their independence, and state and federal governments save money because it costs less to provide services and supports in the community rather than in an institution. Yet, despite strong bipartisan support, this crucial program is about to disappear. Unless Congress takes action, the MFP program will end on Sept 30, 2016.

Ask your Members of Congress to continue the Money Follows the Person program today!
