The bill would expand Medicaid coverage to help pay for assisted living services for low-income seniors and disabled people who need help with daily activities like bathing and medication management. It would also increase tax credits available to developers and investors who build or renovate affordable housing, making it easier for low-income families to find places to live. Together, these changes aim to help vulnerable populations afford both housing and the care services they need to live independently.
