    Dear Association Executives - Thank you to those who shared your experiences and insights on securing and improving funding for health related social needs (HRSN). 

    The National Council is pleased to share a new report, developed in partnership with the Technical Assistance Collaborative, that summarizes the approaches shared by state associations and state Medicaid officials. The report will give you a better understanding of the existing funding options, outline what other states are doing to improve funding and expand services, and offer recommendations for utilizing Medicaid funding to expand services for HRSN.

    State associations are a valuable asset that can help states design and implement meaningful initiatives to address HRSN. This report demonstrates that value and highlights your unique experience and insights.
