Summary
The bill changes the Social Security Act so that Medicaid can pay for services provided in assisted‑living residences when the cost is no higher than comparable hospital or nursing‑facility care. It also modifies the low‑income housing tax credit to favor projects that cut medical assistance expenses by offering non‑institutional long‑term services. The changes aim to give seniors more affordable care options and encourage housing developments that support them.
