About Home-Link Services

Homelink Services operates as a crucial component of Minnesota's social support infrastructure, focusing on addressing housing instability within the community. The firm is a registered provider for Minnesota's Housing Stabilization Services, a Medical Assistance benefit designed to help individuals with disabilities and seniors find and maintain stable housing. Its business model is rooted in providing state-plan Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), billing Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) for its offerings.

The company's clientele consists of individuals aged 18 or older who are on Medical Assistance and are experiencing or at risk of homelessness or institutionalization due to a documented disability, which can include physical disabilities, mental illness, or substance use disorders. Homelink Services offers a structured, three-tiered approach to client support. The first tier, Housing Consultation, involves developing a personalized, housing-focused plan for individuals who are not already receiving waiver or targeted case management. The second, Housing Transition, provides direct support in navigating the housing market, from identifying options and filling out applications to advocating with landlords. The third tier, Housing Sustaining, delivers ongoing case management to help clients maintain their housing through services like crisis intervention, budget planning, and connection to community resources.

By specializing in these wrap-around services, Homelink Services aims to create sustainable housing solutions that empower its clients. The organization collaborates with clients, partners, and the broader community, working to not only secure immediate housing but also to foster the long-term stability and independence of the individuals it serves.
