Learn about program changes and new resources.
American Rescue Plan Act
Wisconsin’s commitment to home and community-based services (HCBS) received a boost, thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). An estimated $350 million in federal funding will help state residents who are elderly or have a disability receive much-needed services to allow them to live as independently as possible. This new funding supports improvements to Wisconsin’s HCBS programs that are unique to the needs and priorities of our residents.

Adult Long-Term Care Update and ForwardHealth Portal enhancements
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has published the first issue of the new Adult Long-Term Care Update (PDF). This publication will share important information that affects service providers and other stakeholders for Wisconsin Medicaid's adult long-term care programs:
- Family Care
- Family Care Partnership (Partnership)

In addition to the new publication, DHS is also launching enhancements to the ForwardHealth Portal to add content for adult long-term care administrators and providers.
