Opportunity Summary:

The Demonstration Program for Elderly Housing for Intergenerational Families (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5170 N 01) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support a targeted demonstration effort connected to the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program authorized under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 1701q). The central aim of the program was to increase the availability of intergenerational dwelling units designed for intergenerational families, specifically very low income households headed by a grandparent or other relative who is age 62 or older and who is raising a child. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on helping existing Section 202 projects create or support housing units that better fit the needs of older caregivers raising younger family members, recognizing that these households often require different space configurations and supportive features than traditional senior-only housing.

HUD anticipated making a small number of awards under this demonstration, with an expected four awards nationwide. The estimated total funding available was $3,960,000, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $2,000,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The funding instrument type was listed as "Other," and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although the full Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) would typically spell out any leverage, underwriting, or affordability expectations tied to project feasibility.

Eligibility was limited. The opportunity was open to nonprofits holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (excluding institutions of higher education), and the eligibility guidance specified that only private nonprofit owners of a Section 202 project who were interested in applying should review the detailed NOFA instructions. That framing indicates the program was designed for organizations already operating qualifying senior supportive housing under Section 202 and seeking to adapt or expand those properties to better serve intergenerational households led by elderly relatives. Because it was a demonstration program, HUD likely intended to learn from a limited set of funded projects and use those results to inform future policy or funding design for intergenerational housing within or alongside senior supportive housing models.

Key timeline details show this was a time-limited 2008 funding round. The opportunity was posted and created on April 25, 2008, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2008. The listing was archived on August 1, 2008, indicating the application period had ended and the opportunity was no longer open for submission after that date.
