OVER $74 MILLION IN HUD GRANTS WILL SUPPORT AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING FOR EXTREMELY LOW-INCOME PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

摘要

HUD has awarded over $74 million in grants to 12 state housing finance agencies to support affordable rental housing for extremely low-income persons with disabilities. The awards will support up to five years of rental assistance for approximately 2,400 units of housing in buildings participating in project rental assistance through HUD's Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program. The grants were awarded to state housing agencies who are working closely with their state Medicaid and Health and Human Servicer counterparts to identify, refer, and conduct outreach to persons with disabilities who require long-term services to live independently. Funds will be used to identify systemic approaches for providing rental subsidies to multifamily properties with units targeted specifically for use by extremely low-income persons with disabilities.
