Project Period: July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027

Budget Period: July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027

Funding Opportunity Description

Background

The Aging and Disability Services Division (ADSD) is seeking partner organizations to support individuals who wish to move from institutional settings into community living through the Money

Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration Grant. This initiative is designed to help people live in the setting of their choice by providing transition coordination and connecting them to the services and supports they need to thrive. The MFP demonstration is a national effort that helps states strengthen their long-term services and supports (LTSS) systems under Medicaid. The program offers flexible funding to develop and improve processes, tools, and infrastructure that make community living possible for individuals who have been residing in institutions. Nevada’s

MFP Demonstration Grant focuses on empowering people to make informed choices, reducing barriers to community living, and ensuring access to high-quality supports. The goals of MFP include:

• Helping individuals access home and community-based services (HCBS) so they can live in the setting that best supports their independence, preferences, and well-being.

• Remove barriers in state policies and funding so Medicaid- Eligible individuals can access the long-term services and supports they need in the setting that best fits their goals and preferences. Enhancing the ability of Medicaid programs to provide HCBS for people who choose to transition out of institutions.

• Promoting quality and continuous improvement in HCBS delivery.

Since its inception in 2012, Nevada’s MFP Demonstration Grant has supported more than 400 individuals in successfully moving to community settings. In 2023, administrative responsibility for the demonstration shifted from the Medicaid agency to ADSD, marking a significant step toward integrated, person-centered service delivery. The MFP Demonstration Grant serves individuals living in qualified institutions such as nursing facilities, hospitals, and intermediate care facilities who want to transition to community-based settings. Eligible participants include those who meet the level of care and service needs under Nevada’s Physical Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, and Frail and Elderly waivers, as well as individuals who require comparable state plan services. Participation is available to all individuals who meet MFP eligibility criteria, with no age restrictions.

ADSD Competitive Subaward NOFO, Money Follows the Person | FY2027 Page 4 of 19

Participation in the MFP Demonstration Grant is available to individuals who meet the following criteria:

1. Have lived in a nursing facility, hospital, or rehabilitation center for at least 60 consecutive days.

2. Medicaid has paid for at least one inpatient day prior to transition from an approved facility.

3. Meet the level of care for a qualified Medicaid waiver (Physical Disability, Intellectual

Disability, or Frail Elderly) or require Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) under the state plan.

ADSD’s mission is to empower individuals and families to live independent and dignified lives through services guided by principles of accessibility, accountability, cultural awareness, ethics, respect, timeliness, and transparency. ADSD works in partnership with Nevada

Medicaid under the Nevada Health Authority (NVHA), which was established during the 2025 legislative session to unify health-related agencies, strengthen collaboration with federal partners, and improve access to quality care for individuals and families with low income.

Nevada Medicaid provides health coverage for eligible populations, including Supplemental

Security Income (SSI) recipients, certain Medicare beneficiaries, and individuals in foster care or adoption assistance. Nevada Medicaid administers three Home and Community-Based

Services (HCBS) waivers, while ADSD manages operational functions to ensure person-centered care and support for community living. The MFP Demonstration Grant also partners with Nevada’s No Wrong Door (NWD) initiative, which provides a coordinated and streamlined access point for long-term services and supports (LTSS). NWD focuses on improving access through public outreach, person-centered counseling, streamlined eligibility processes, and state-level governance.

Purpose

This Notice of Funding Opportunity focuses on delivering transition and transition coordination services to eligible individuals who are moving from institutional settings into community-based settings. These services include assessing transition eligibility, coordinating housing, and connecting individuals to community-based supportive services to ensure successful transitions. All services delivered under this opportunity must follow a person-centered approach and align with established quality measures and continuous improvement processes.

Funding is available to eligible applicants statewide. Service delivery will be implemented across Nevada based on program priorities, applications received, and the availability of resources during the project period.

Current Challenges

Individuals transitioning from institutional care to community living often encounter barriers that can delay or complicate the process. Common challenges include:

ADSD Competitive Subaward NOFO, Money Follows the Person | FY2027 Page 5 of 19

• Accessible Housing and Services: Limited availability of affordable, accessible housing and community-based supports, especially in rural areas.

• Care Coordination: Ensuring continuity of healthcare and connecting multiple providers can be complex.

• Financial Limitations: High rental costs and limited funding often require subsidies and creative resource solutions.

• Information Gaps: Participants and families may lack awareness of available services and how to access them.

• Adjustment Needs: Moving to a new environment can be emotionally and physically demanding.

Impact of Services

The MFP Demonstration Grant helps remove barriers to community living and creates meaningful outcomes for individuals transitioning from institutional care. Key areas of impact include:

• Successful Transitions: Individuals move from institutional settings to community environments that promote independence, autonomy, and self-determination. This aligns with federal expectations for person-centered, least restrictive service delivery.

• Improved Quality of Life: People experience greater control over daily decisions, stronger community connections, and services delivered with dignity and respect.

• Cost Efficiency: Supporting community living reduces reliance on institutional care, lowering healthcare costs while improving outcomes for individuals and families.

• Access to Needed Supports: Participants receive essential services such as personal care, adult day health, case management, homemaker, habilitative, and respite care.

These services ensure continuity and stability in the community.

Award Information

Service Priorities

ADSD anticipates this funding will support approximately 50 transitions during the project period. Additional funding may become available at a later date.

Funded services will focus on the following priorities:

1. Transition Coordination: Provide intake and eligibility determination for referrals, develop person-centered transition plans, and identify goals and supports needed for successful community integration.

2. Community Transition Services: Offer one-time assistance for housing deposits, utility set-up fees, moving expenses, essential household items, financial services or bank fees, and other services necessary for health and safety prior to occupancy.

4. Outreach and Education: Coordinate outreach and education efforts to build partnerships and increase awareness of transition opportunities for individuals and families.

5. Quality Improvement: Participate in approved quality improvement activities to strengthen service delivery and outcomes under the MFP Demonstration Grant.

Funding Description

(MFP) Demonstration Grant. Approximately $165,000 is available to support transition coordination services, including demonstration services for eligible participants. Funding will be used to assist individuals transitioning from institutional care to community-based settings by providing person-centered planning, housing coordination, and connection to supportive services.

These costs are to be included only if they are associated exclusively with this program. If they are associated with multiple sources of funding, the costs are to be included in Administrative

Expenses. Follow the example on the form. Community Transition Services are limited to

$2500 per participant.

ADMINISTRATIVE/INDIRECT EXPENSES or FEDERAL INDIRECT COST RATE (FICR):

Administrative/indirect expenses and FICR are to be used to help cover expenses that are not easily assigned to a specific program or unit within an organization. These costs are associated with depreciation and use allowances, facility operation and maintenance, general administrative expenses such as accounting, payroll, legal and data processing, and any personnel not providing direct services to the project. If requested, the expenses are limited to the maximum rate listed, depending on the funding source and existence of an FICR letter.

Once a funding source is assigned to an approved subaward, the allowable rate will apply, and a budget revision may be required if excess expenses are included. Administrative/indirect expenses do not apply to equipment or fixed fee subawards or portions of subawards.

Reference the Requirements and Procedures for Grant Programs (RPGPs) GR - 20*. Modified

Direct Costs (rate of 15% de minimis) must be based upon expenses as outlined within the

RPGPs. FICR amount must be based upon allowed expenses per your organization’s current

FICR letter. Attach a copy of your FICR letter to the application, as applicable.
