Opportunity Summary:
The Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP) is a HUD discretionary grant program designed to help expand assisted living options for frail elderly residents by paying for the physical conversion of existing federally assisted elderly housing. The core idea is straightforward: instead of building new assisted living facilities from scratch, HUD provides grant funding so that private nonprofit owners can convert some or all units within an eligible multifamily housing project into an assisted living facility (ALF) setting. This typically supports aging-in-place by adding the kinds of unit layouts, common areas, and building features needed to serve residents who require supportive services, while keeping housing affordable and tied to HUDs broader mission of stable, inclusive communities and quality housing.
This opportunity was published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 33, with the title Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP). It uses a grant funding instrument and falls under the Community Development and Housing activity area. The CFDA program listing is 14.314, Assisted Living Conversion for Eligible Multifamily Housing Projects. For the FY referenced in the notice, the estimated total funding available was $30,000,000. Importantly for applicants planning budgets, HUD did not require cost sharing or matching funds for this competition, meaning an applicant was not obligated to bring a formal match to be considered eligible (though projects may still combine ALCP funds with other sources depending on HUD rules and the specific conversion plan).
Eligibility is narrow and targeted. Only private nonprofit owners may apply, and only if they own qualifying multifamily assisted housing developments that are designed for the elderly. The eligible developments must be financed through specific federal housing programs: Section 202, project-based Section 8 (including Rural Housing Service Section 515), Section 221(d)(3) Below Market Interest Rate (BMIR), or Section 236. This restriction matters because HUD is aiming ALCP at a known inventory of elderly-designated, federally assisted properties where conversion can directly improve supportive housing capacity for current and future residents. The notice also points to statutory eligibility language in section 683(2)(B) through (G) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550).
Applicants also need to pay attention to the programs warning about maintaining eligibility for the entire grant term. HUD explicitly reserves the right to terminate the grant and recover funds if the property becomes ineligible during the grant period. The notice lists examples of changes that could trigger this, such as prepayment of the mortgage, sale or transfer of the property (including transfers under a TPA), opting out of a Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract, or transferring the grant to a single-asset entity. In practice, that means applicants should think beyond winning the award and ensure their ownership structure, financing plans, and affordability commitments will remain compatible with ALCP requirements through construction and closeout.
The application timeline for this archived competition ran from a posted and created date of January 24, 2011, to an original and final closing date of March 29, 2011, with an archive date of April 5, 2011. While those dates are specific to this published round, they provide a sense of the typical window HUD gives for competitive submissions and underscore the need for applicants to be ready with a well-developed conversion scope, resident and service planning assumptions, and documentation supporting nonprofit ownership and project eligibility.
HUDs description emphasizes that applicants should carefully review the General Section of the NOFA along with the program-specific requirements. HUD ties the program to its Strategic Plan for 2010-2015, highlighting department-wide priorities and how this funding supports the larger goal of strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and affordable homes. Practically, that connection signals that HUD is not only looking for a construction proposal, but for a conversion plan that fits HUD policy objectives, demonstrates clear benefit to frail elderly residents, and is feasible within the operational and regulatory framework of the underlying assisted housing program.
For access and submission logistics, the listing references an application download page using the CFDA number only, which is a cue that applicants at the time were expected to locate materials through HUDs and federal grant portals indexed by CFDA 14.314. The posted program contact for questions about accessing the full announcement was Katina X. Washington at (202) 708-3000.
