Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discretionary grant program that helps convert existing federally assisted multifamily housing units into assisted living facilities (ALFs) that can better serve frail elderly residents. The core goal is to pay for the physical conversion of some or all dwelling units within an eligible property so the housing can safely and appropriately support residents who need help with everyday activities and who benefit from onsite supportive services. In practice, this is a capital-focused program: it is aimed at remodeling and reconfiguring space to make assisted living possible within an existing development, rather than funding routine operating costs.

ALFs under this program are meant for frail elderly people and, more broadly, people with disabilities who require assistance with common daily needs such as eating, bathing, grooming, dressing, and managing basic household activities. The expectation is that an ALF is not just a modified apartment building, but a housing setting paired with supportive services. HUD’s description highlights service components that must be available, including personal care, transportation, meals, housekeeping, and laundry. The term "frail elderly person" is defined specifically as an individual age 62 or older who cannot perform at least three activities of daily living (ADLs), using the definitions tied to HUD’s Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly regulations at 24 CFR 891.205. The concept of assisted living is also tied to federal statute, referenced in section 232(b)(6) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715w).

Eligibility is limited and targeted. Only private nonprofit owners of certain eligible multifamily assisted housing developments may apply. The eligible development categories are those specified in section 683(2)(B) through (G) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550). This means the program is not open to for-profit owners, individuals, or organizations that do not own qualifying HUD-assisted multifamily properties, even if they otherwise provide senior services. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically reduces the barrier for nonprofit owners that may not have large reserves to contribute to a conversion project.

The opportunity referenced is identified as Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 15 under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 14.314, titled "Assisted Living Conversion for Eligible Multifamily Housing Projects." HUD posted the notice on September 1, 2009, with an application closing date of November 5, 2009, and an estimated total available funding amount of $20,000,000 for that cycle. As a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), applicants are expected to follow both the general HUD NOFA requirements (the "General Section") and the program-specific requirements described in the detailed notice, which typically cover threshold eligibility, eligible conversion activities, documentation, selection factors, and grant administration expectations.

For applicants needing access to the full announcement, HUD points to an application download page using the CFDA number. For questions, HUD directs applicants to their local HUD office for programmatic guidance, and also lists contacts associated with the program and the grant award process: Katina Washington at (202) 402-2651, and Aretha Williams, Director of the Grant Policy and Management Division, at (202) 708-3000 ext. 2480. These numbers are not toll-free.
