Opportunity Summary:
The Money Follows the Person (MFP) Rebalancing Grant Demonstration is a federal discretionary grant program run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that was created to help states shift, or "rebalance," their long-term care systems away from heavy reliance on institutional care and toward community-based supports. Authorized by Congress in Section 6071 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, the program centers on helping Medicaid enrollees who are living in institutions move back into community settings when they choose to do so and when appropriate services can be arranged. The overall intent is to accelerate a broader transformation in long-term services and supports so they are more person-centered, consumer-directed, and grounded in community living rather than being primarily provider-driven and institution-based.
At a practical level, the opportunity supports state governments in building and improving the infrastructure needed to make community transitions work. That includes strengthening systems that identify eligible individuals in facilities, planning and coordinating transitions, and ensuring continuity of services once a person is back in the community. The program reflects the idea that successful long-term support is not just about where care happens, but about giving people more control and tailoring supports to individual goals, needs, and preferences. In other words, it aims to make community living a realistic, sustainable option for Medicaid beneficiaries who might otherwise remain in institutions due to limited alternatives.
