Connecticut’s “Money Follows the Person” (MFP) program is a $56 million demonstration that is intended to assist with rebalancing Connecticut’s long–term care system so that individuals have the maximum independence and freedom of choice about where they live and receive services.

There is a broad range of services available under “Money Follows the Person” (MFP). Transition Coordinators provide one-to-one assistance with coordinating the move from facility to the community. They also assist with directing community supports, navigating the systems, and accessing appropriate resources. If people transitioning need housing, Housing Coordinators assist by locating acceptable apartments or other suitable living arrangements.

Some funds may be available to assist individuals with setting up a household in the community, and rental assistance is available for those who qualify.

One of the main goals of MFP is to enable the participant to direct the transition process. In addition, six different service and support packages are available to meet the individual needs of those who transition to the community.

Allied Community Resources continues its role as a Fiscal Intermediary for this exciting program. Allied processes the paperwork for new participants sent to us from the Department of Social Services – MFP Unit. We assist and train the participant in all areas of becoming a Household Employer, hiring Personal Care Assistants, and establishing an Emergency PCA Back-Up system. We also process applications for individuals who wish to be hired as Personal Care Assistants for the MFP Program.
