The
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding to
expand the supply of housing with supportive services for the target
population (Elderly or Persons with Disabilities) through an annual
competitive application process.
The funding is awarded in the form of a capital advance (grant) to finance
the construction, rehabilitation or acquisition of housing. Repayment
of the capital advance is not required provided the housing remains
available for occupancy by very low-income individuals of the target
population for at least 40 years.
Project Rental Assistance is included with the capital advance to cover the
difference between the HUD-approved operating cost per unit and 30 percent
of the resident's adjusted income.
