This dashboard examines who needs and receives Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) across the United States and presents data on the percentage and demographic characteristics of racial and ethnic minorities with LTSS needs and their utilization of Medicaid HCBS and institutional LTSS by racial and ethnic categories, as well as other indicators of disparities in community living equity.
This dashboard provides national- and state-level data on estimates of who needs Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS), who receives Medicaid LTSS (institutional services and Home and Community-Based Services), and disparities in access to Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). The dissemination of data through the accessible Community Living Equity Data Dashboard will enable disability advocates from the local levels to advocate for shifts in policies and services to advance community living equity.
