Expansion of HCBS

Congress and the states should expand funding for a wide range of HCBS through Medicaid, the Older Americans Act (OAA), the Social Services Block Grant program, and other programs that offer long-term services and supports (LTSS).

States should fund sufficient HCBS waiver slots to eliminate waiting lists.

Federal and state governments should allocate a greater proportion of Medicaid funding for HCBS instead of nursing facility care.
