Rental Assistance for Non Elderly Persons w/Disabilities Related To Certain Types of Section 8 PBDs | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Rental Assistance for Non Elderly Persons w/Disabilities Related To Certain Types of Section 8 PBDs" (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5229 N 01) is a discretionary HUD grant designed to expand access to affordable housing for non-elderly families that include a person with a disability. The core purpose is to provide Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance to households that are being left out of certain project-based housing options because some property owners have adopted policies or preferences that favor elderly residents. In practical terms, the program targets situations where non-elderly people with disabilities are not currently receiving housing assistance in particular Section 8 project-based developments, or in specific assisted housing developments tied to Section 202, Section 221(d)(3), or Section 236, when an owner restricts all or part of a development to elderly-only occupancy. By supplying tenant-based voucher assistance, HUD aims to help eligible non-elderly disabled families obtain stable, affordable housing despite these occupancy preferences or restrictions.

This funding falls under the Housing activity category and is associated with CFDA Number 14.871, which corresponds to the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program. The assistance is provided through a grant instrument, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to contribute a local match as a condition of receiving funds. The program is structured around vouchers issued and administered through Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), using the existing Housing Choice Voucher administrative framework rather than creating a new delivery system.

Eligibility is limited to PHAs that already administer an HCV program, since they have the systems in place to determine eligibility, issue vouchers, conduct inspections, manage landlord contracts, and ensure ongoing compliance with program rules. The notice lists eligible applicants as "Others" with clarification provided that qualifying applicants are PHAs with an active HCV program. This is important because it signals the funding is not intended for individuals, private landlords, or nonprofit service providers to apply directly; instead, the intended applicants are housing authorities that can deploy vouchers to eligible households in their jurisdictions.

Key timing details reflect that this was a time-limited competitive notice. The opportunity was posted on December 9, 2008, with an original and current closing date of January 30, 2009, and an archive date of January 31, 2009. The notice was published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2008, which is the formal publication route HUD uses for many competitive funding announcements. While the listing is now archived, the details describe how the program was positioned and administered during that funding round.

For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, HUD directed them to the Public and Indian Housing Resource Center by phone at 800-955-2232, and no email contact was provided in the source information. Application materials and instructions were made available via an "Application and Instructions Download" link, consistent with HUD's typical approach of distributing detailed NOFA requirements, submission procedures, and forms through an online package.

Overall, the program’s central intent is to correct a gap in housing access that can occur when certain federally assisted or project-based developments shift admissions or occupancy toward elderly households, leaving non-elderly people with disabilities with fewer affordable options. By funding additional Housing Choice Vouchers administered by PHAs, HUD sought to give affected families a practical path to affordable housing when they are otherwise excluded from those developments due to elderly preference policies or elderly-only restrictions in designated properties.
