Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Rental Assistance for Non Elderly Persons with Disabilities in Support of Designated Housing Plans" (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5228 N 01) is a discretionary HUD program that provides Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance specifically aimed at helping non-elderly people with disabilities obtain housing when they have been effectively displaced from certain public housing units due to elderly-only occupancy rules. In practical terms, the program is meant to offset the unintended impact that can happen when a Public Housing Agency (PHA) implements a designated housing plan that reserves a building, project, or a portion of a development for elderly households. When those designations restrict access for non-elderly disabled households who otherwise would have been housed there, the vouchers funded under this notice are intended to ensure those families still have a path to affordable housing through tenant-based assistance in the community.
The core purpose is narrowly targeted: the vouchers are not described as general new HCV expansion for the broader waitlist, but as a supportive tool tied to designated housing decisions. The description emphasizes that the assisted households are non-elderly disabled families who would have been housed by the PHA absent the elderly-only restriction in the designated housing project or building. This frames the vouchers as a mitigation measure, helping PHAs comply with or implement designated housing plans while still meeting obligations to serve households with disabilities, and helping those households avoid losing access to affordable units due solely to the designation of certain public housing inventory for elderly residents.
This opportunity is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Housing Choice Voucher program, with the CFDA listing provided as 14.871 (Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is housing. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, which is typical of voucher funding where the primary subsidy stream comes from federal appropriations.
Eligibility is limited to PHAs that currently administer a Housing Choice Voucher program. The opportunity notes "Others (see text field...)" in the eligible applicants category, but then clarifies that eligible applicants are PHAs already operating an HCV program. That matters because administering vouchers requires existing administrative systems for eligibility determinations, income calculations, inspections, landlord contracting (HAP contracts), and ongoing program compliance. In other words, HUD is directing these resources to agencies that already have the infrastructure to deploy vouchers quickly and manage them according to HCV requirements.
Key dates included in the notice show it was posted and created on December 4, 2008, with an original and current closing date of January 30, 2009, and an archive date of January 31, 2009. The listing also states that the NOFA was published in the Federal Register on November 28 (the year is inconsistently stated in the provided text), but the practical takeaway is that this was a time-limited, archived competitive or discretionary funding round tied to that specific NOFA cycle rather than an open-ended entitlement.
For application access, the notice points applicants to an "Additional Information Link" described as "Step One download application," indicating the application package was available for download through the standard federal application portal or HUD posting process at the time. For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact provided is the Public and Indian Housing Resource Center at 800-955-2232, with a TTY/relay option for persons with hearing or speech impairments at 800-877-8339. No email contact is listed in the provided information, which suggests that phone-based support was the primary method offered for applicant assistance.
Overall, the program can be summarized as HUD-issued Housing Choice Voucher funding that helps PHAs protect housing access for non-elderly people with disabilities in communities where designated housing plans have limited their access to specific public housing developments reserved for elderly households. The emphasis is on maintaining equitable access and preventing displacement or exclusion from affordable housing opportunities due to designation decisions, using vouchers as the mechanism to provide comparable rental assistance in the broader rental market.
