The State of Connecticut Department of Social
Services’ new Money Follows the Person program will
be implemented in early 2009. Allied will be the
fiscal intermediary for the program and referrals
will go through the Department of Social Services.
The Department’s website description of the Money
Follows the Person (MFP) Program services includes
the following information:
There will be a broad range of services available
under Money Follows the Person. Transition
Coordinators will provide one-to-one assistance with
coordinating the move to the community. They will
assist with directing community supports, navigating
the systems, and accessing resources. If people
transitioning need housing, Housing Coordinators
will assist by locating acceptable apartments or
other living arrangements. Some funds may be
available to assist individuals with setting up a
household in the community. To the maximum degree
possible, MFP participants will direct the
transition process. Rental assistance will also be
available for those who qualify. In addition, six
different service and support packages will be
available to meet the individual needs of those who
transition to the community.
