Opportunity Summary:
The Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to help certain existing multifamily assisted housing properties convert some or all of their residential units into either an Assisted Living Facility (ALF) or Service Enriched Housing (SEH). The core purpose of the funding is to pay for the physical conversion work needed to make an eligible property suitable for assisted living-style occupancy, which generally includes reconfiguring units, remodeling interiors, and creating or improving related common areas and service spaces that support residents who need help with daily living. All conversion work must meet HUD requirements as well as state statutes and regulations, and whichever standard is more stringent controls. The work must also comply with all applicable accessibility laws, meaning the conversion is expected to incorporate accessibility features and design standards that allow residents with disabilities to live safely and independently to the greatest extent possible.
In practical terms, ALCP funds are aimed at construction and rehabilitation costs tied to conversion, not general operating expenses. Typical uses include modifying unit layouts (for example, to improve accessibility, add safety features, or accommodate assistance needs), renovating bathrooms and kitchens as required, and updating or building out common areas that support services. For ALF conversions specifically, the property must have enough community space to support dining and meal service: if meals are prepared off site, the facility still needs a central kitchen or dining facility, and the on-site food preparation area must be large enough to allow installation of a full kitchen. For both ALF and SEH conversions, HUD expects community space that is available to all residents of the project, reflecting the program emphasis on shared spaces that support resident well-being, programming, and service delivery.
A key requirement is that every applicant must ensure supportive services are available to residents, either by providing them directly or by arranging them through a third-party provider. The application must include solid documentation showing those services are truly lined up, such as a firm commitment, a letter of support, or a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) describing the supportive services that will be offered within the ALF or SEH. The program also makes clear that residents must be offered supportive services but cannot be required to accept them, which is important for tenant choice and autonomy. Properties may charge assisted living or service-enriched residents fees for meals and/or services, and residents may separately contract with outside agencies for additional care, such as nursing, therapy, or other services that the ALF or SEH does not provide.
Eligibility is limited and tied to the type of owner and the type of property. Only private nonprofit owners of certain eligible multifamily assisted housing developments (as referenced in Section 683(2)(B) through (G) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992) may apply. HUD also reserves the right to terminate the grant and recover funds if the applicant stops being eligible during the grant term. Examples of changes that can trigger this include prepayment of the mortgage, sale or transfer of the property (including through a transfer of physical assets), opting out of a Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract, or transferring the grant to a single-asset entity. In other words, an applicant must not only qualify at the time of application, but also maintain qualifying status throughout the period of performance.
For this specific notice of funding opportunity, the program is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FR 5700 N 17, with CFDA number 14.314 (Assisted Living Conversion for Eligible Multifamily Housing Projects). The funding instrument is a grant, there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and the estimated total funding available under the notice was $15,000,000. The opportunity was posted on September 18, 2013, with an original and final closing date of November 18, 2013, and it was archived on November 26, 2013. For process-related questions, HUD provided program contacts including Katina Washington and Aretha Williams in HUDs Grant Policy and Management Division at (202) 708-3000.
