NCSL Legislative Video Resource Center

To improve the health of individuals experiencing homelessness and reduce associated health care costs, many states are leveraging COVID-19 relief and other funds to provide permanent supportive housing. This type of low-barrier, affordable housing provides health care and support services, such as case management, child care and employment assistance. Featuring national and state perspectives, this webinar will explore the landscape of permanent supportive housing and highlight several state legislative actions.

This webinar is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $767,749 with 100% funded by HRSA/HHS.

From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients, providers, payers and policymakers looked to telehealth to ensure continuity of care. All 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico modified their telehealth policies in response to COVID-19—but many of these actions were temporary during the declared state of emergency. Learn about the myriad changes to telehealth policies during the pandemic and which of these changes may stick around for the long haul.
