Questions, answered simply.
How much does housing cost?
It depends on the program and your situation. Some residential services are covered by Kansas Medicaid, and MHASCK offers sliding scale fees where they apply. Our team will give you an honest picture of costs and coverage for the options that fit you, so there are no surprises.
What is permanent supportive housing?
Permanent supportive housing combines long-term, stable housing with ongoing support services. There is no set end date, and support like case management is available to help you stay housed and well. It is designed for people who need lasting stability plus help, not just a temporary place to stay.
What is Operation Community Integration?
Operation Community Integration is support that helps residents build daily living skills and connect to the community around them. Rather than just providing a place to live, it focuses on helping people take part in community life and work toward greater independence. Reach out and we will explain how it could fit you.
Does applying guarantee placement?
No. Applying is an important first step, but it does not guarantee immediate placement, because space and wait times vary by program. We will be honest about availability and help you explore all your options, including partner referrals, so you have a plan rather than just a wait.
How long is the wait?
Wait times vary by housing type and current availability, and some options move faster than others. When you apply, our team will give you a realistic sense of timelines and help you find interim options if you need somewhere stable sooner.
Do you accept Medicaid?
Some residential and supportive services are covered by Kansas Medicaid, and MHASCK offers sliding scale fees where they apply. Coverage depends on the specific program and your eligibility. Reach out and our team will help you understand what is covered for your situation.
Can a family member apply?
Yes, with the person’s involvement and permission. Family members often help a loved one navigate housing, and we welcome that support. We will keep the person at the center of decisions about their own housing and explain what information is needed.
Who is eligible for group homes and residential housing?
Eligibility depends on the specific program, level of need, and often on Medicaid coverage. Our residential team confirms the details for each option. The best way to find out what you qualify for is to reach out, and we will walk you through it clearly.
What support comes with the housing?
Support varies by housing type, from daily on-site help in residential care to lighter-touch support in permanent supportive housing. Many residents also connect with case management and daily living support. We match the level of support to what helps you stay stable and move toward your goals.
