4. MFP Guidance for Participant Placement In Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) The guidance was designed to assist RTC’s in understanding MFP’s expectations surrounding ALF placements by addressing the following concerns:  Concerns from RTC’s about MFP not allowing participants to transition into ALF’s that don’t currently meet the HCBS Settings Rule  Concerns from Waiver partners that MFP participants are not being informed of the risks of moving into a ALF that may not meet the rule in future  Concerns that MFP participants are not being informed of other community housing options Assisted Living Participant Selection Form
