Housing assistance in Missouri for elderly with high medical bills?

My parents' monthly income puts them over the limit for low income housing however, most of their income goes towards medical bills (even with supplimental insurance to medicare). Does anyone know of a housing program in Missouri that takes medical expenses into consideration? I called several section 8 places but they only look at income amt. I checked with HUD and they said some section 8 places do take this into consideration. Thank you!

You fill out the Medicaid application, because Medicaid DOES take into consideration their out-of-pocket medical expenses. So does HUD for section 8. Call your county office of the aging for help clearing this up. Come November, look into a better Medicare Advantage Plan for them.
