Transition to Statewide Housing Administrator Effective October 1, 2021
Applicable to: Mercy Care Complete Care, Mercy Care RBHA, Mercy Care Long Term Care, and Mercy Care DD
In February 2021, AHCCCS awarded its AHCCCS Housing Program (AHP) Housing Administrator contract to the Arizona Behavioral Health Corporation (ABC). This change will go into effect on October 1, 2021.
The following key points are important for you to know:
Mercy Care will continue to have a Housing Department, and we are here to assist. Please reach out with any questions or concerns to housing@mercycareaz.org.
Mercy Care will continue to manage the FlexCare program, including applications, waitlist and referrals.
Eviction Prevention requests will no longer be processed by the SMI Department and requests will need to be submitted to ABC beginning on 10/1/2021.
Housing applications will not be accepted by Mercy Care after 9/30/2021 and will need to be submitted to ABC beginning on 10/1/2021.
Members on the current housing waitlists will not need to reapply with ABC, and the existing Mercy Care housing waitlists will transition to ABC on 10/1/2021.
