Opportunity Summary:
The Rental Assistance for Non Elderly Persons Disabilities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5332 N 02) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to expand Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance for non-elderly people with disabilities. The core purpose is to increase access to affordable, community-based housing for disabled households that are not elderly, with a strong emphasis on pairing rental assistance with supportive services where public housing agencies (PHAs) have the experience and capacity to do so.
Funding for this competition comes from two related sources. First, the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 provided $30 million for incremental Housing Choice Vouchers specifically targeted to non-elderly disabled families. Second, HUD made an additional $10,086,710 available using unused FY 2008 appropriated funds tied to Designated Housing and Certain Developments. Combined, these funds were expected to support roughly 5,300 vouchers in total. HUD indicated that about 4,300 of these vouchers would primarily help non-elderly disabled families obtain affordable housing in the community, while approximately 1,000 vouchers were intended to support transitions out of nursing homes and other health care institutions, helping non-elderly people with disabilities move from institutional settings into community living.
Eligibility is limited to public housing agencies that already administer a Housing Choice Voucher program, since the assistance being awarded is incremental HCV funding layered onto existing voucher administration infrastructure. The program is cataloged under CFDA 14.871 (Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers) and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity was posted April 7, 2010, with an application closing date of July 7, 2010 (the original and current closing date are the same). A correction notice (FR 5332 C 03) was issued to clarify or correct certain provisions of the original NOFA, but it did not change the July 7 closing deadline.
In practical terms, the award supports PHAs in issuing additional Housing Choice Vouchers targeted to non-elderly households with disabilities, including a dedicated focus on people leaving institutional care. The mention of demonstrated experience and resources for supportive services signals that HUD expected participating agencies to coordinate with service providers or systems that can help recipients maintain stable housing, especially for individuals transitioning from nursing homes or similar facilities. Applicants were directed to download the application package through the provided link in the announcement, and technical assistance for accessing the full announcement was available through the listed HUD program contact, Phyllis Smelkinson, at (202) 402-4138.
