Transition Assistance Program

FCS TAP funding for housing transitions.

The Foundational Community Supports Transition Assistance Program (FCS TAP) offers flexible, time-limited funding to FCS supportive-housing enrollees with behavioral health treatment needs. It helps cover the fees that often stand between someone and a home — IDs, application fees, move-in costs, and more.

Up to $15,000
Per enrollee, per 12-month period (no longer a hard limit)
Rent & deposits
First & last month and deposit, based on Fair Market Rent
Paid to provider
Funds go to your FCS provider, not directly to you
Pre-approved
Every request is approved before any funds are spent

Who can use FCS TAP

To receive FCS TAP funding, a person must meet all of the following:

  • Be actively receiving FCS-eligible Medicaid (Apple Health).
  • Be authorized for FCS-SH services with active enrollment segments in ProviderOne.
  • Identify as experiencing a behavioral health treatment need.
  • Be making a housing transition.

How it's accessed

FCS-SH enrollees cannot request TAP funds directly — they're requested on your behalf by your provider.

  • Stable Living Solutions submits the request to Wellpoint for you.
  • No behavioral health diagnosis needs to be validated — your provider simply notes the treatment need on the request form.
  • All requests are pre-approved before any funds are spent.
  • Funds are paid to your provider, who pays landlords, utilities, and other entities directly.
What FCS TAP can cover

12-month limit: up to $15,000 per enrollee — this is no longer a hard cap; further requests can be submitted, subject to review by Wellpoint and the HCA. Rent and deposit amounts are tied to Fair Market Rent (FMR) for the home's size and county. FCS TAP does not pay ongoing rent. "FMR" = HUD Fair Market Rent. Some items (such as non-refundable fees, last month's rent, rental & storage arrears, and home modifications) cannot be paid through HRSN funds and are paid from TAP state funds.

What TAP cannot cover

  • Vehicle purchases or repairs
  • RV / trailer purchases or repairs
  • Washer / dryer units
  • Stove / oven units
  • Medical copays
  • Clothing
  • Transportation costs
  • Non-housing debt
  • Direct cash paid to the enrollee

This list is not exhaustive — ask your specialist about any specific expense.

Help making a house feel like home.

An empty apartment isn't quite home yet. FCS TAP can help cover household goods and furniture — beds, kitchen basics, and other essentials — so you can settle in with dignity from day one.

FCS TAP FAQ

Common questions about TAP

Yes. An enrollee must be actively receiving FCS-eligible Medicaid (Apple Health). If the Medicaid account is inactive or not FCS-eligible, the provider cannot spend FCS TAP funding.
No. Providers indicate the enrollee's behavioral health treatment need on the online FCS TAP Request Form when submitting to Wellpoint — but a behavioral health diagnosis does not need to be validated to access funding.
No. FCS TAP covers initial move-in costs — the first and last month of rent (each up to 150% of Fair Market Rent), the security deposit (up to 200% FMR), and related move-in fees. Ongoing rent is not covered.
As of the 2025–2026 fiscal year, the 12-month limit per enrollee is up to $15,000 (raised from $5,000) — and it is no longer a hard limit. Additional requests can be submitted after the $15,000 is reached, but they are subject to review by Wellpoint and the Health Care Authority. All funding depends on availability.
Yes. When an enrollee is offered longer-term rental assistance from local, state, or federal programs, FCS TAP can still cover move-in and other initial costs, and may provide supplemental funding to help make a new apartment feel like home.
No. All funds are paid to the enrollee's assigned FCS provider, who then pays the entities providing goods or services — landlords, property management companies, utility providers, and others.
No. While one aim of TAP is to support people discharging from behavioral health inpatient settings, all FCS-SH enrollees with a behavioral health treatment need are eligible when making a housing transition — including those not leaving an inpatient facility (a moving attestation is required).
No. A previous denial of FCS TAP funding does not impact an enrollee's ability to request future funding — unless they are no longer eligible for FCS-SH services.
No. FCS TAP can only be used to enter independent housing of the enrollee's choice. Costs related to entering or residing in assisted living settings are not covered — but transitions to an independent rental setting are.

FCS-SH enrollees request TAP funds through their provider.

As your FCS-SH provider, Stable Living Solutions can request TAP funding on your behalf and handle the paperwork — so you can focus on your move. Let's talk about whether TAP can help with your transition.

FCS TAP coverage is provided by Wellpoint Washington, Inc. Program details reflect the 2025–2026 fiscal year (effective February 1, 2026) and are summarized from Wellpoint's FCS TAP training; they are subject to change and funding availability.
