Protecting Residents from Inappropriate Evictions in Residential Care Communities (RCCs) (October 27, 2021)

This webinar discussed federal and state legal tools and advocacy strategies to defend residents of residential care communities (RCCs) from inappropriate evictions. Eric Carlson of Justice in Aging provided an overview of common state laws that may be utilized for eviction protection and explained how the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Rule requires protections against inappropriate eviction for residents living in residential settings funded by Medicaid HCBS programs (e.g., RCCs). Attendees also heard about state and local advocacy strategies to address evictions of residents in RCCs. Amanda Scott, Idaho State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, and Molly Davies, Vice President of Elder Abuse Prevention and Ombudsman Services, WISE & Healthy Aging, California Long-Term Care Ombudsman program, shared their work.
