Opportunity Summary:
The Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 19, CFDA 14.181) is a discretionary HUD grant program designed to expand and sustain supportive housing for very low income adults with disabilities who are at least 18 years old. The core purpose is twofold: to finance the development of eligible housing and to help cover ongoing operating costs so rents remain affordable for the target population. A key program expectation is that supportive services are not optional add-ons; funded applicants must be able to show that appropriate supportive services are identified and available to residents, consistent with the supportive housing model.
This particular notice functions largely as a technical and clarifying update to the FY2009 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) that HUD originally posted on September 1, 2009. After publication, HUD determined that multiple parts of the NOFA needed revision, including corrections to items like email addresses, tables, and exhibits, plus added clarification related to Energy Star and broader Green Development requirements. Because these changes were considered significant enough to potentially affect how applicants prepare their submissions, HUD extended the application deadline. The corrected and clarified materials were also to be made available through Grants.gov so the entire applicant pool could quickly incorporate the updates.
From a funding structure standpoint, HUD provides assistance under 24 CFR Part 891 through two main tools. The first is a capital advance, which can be used for construction, rehabilitation, or acquisition of a structure (with or without rehabilitation) that will be developed into eligible Section 811 housing configurations described in the NOFA. These capital advances are interest-free and tied to HUD development cost limits referenced in the NOFA (Section IV.E.3.). Importantly, repayment of the capital advance is not required as long as the property remains available to very low income persons with disabilities for at least 40 years, effectively making the capital advance a long-term affordability tool conditioned on continued compliant use.
The second tool is project rental assistance through a PRAC (Project Rental Assistance Contract). PRAC funds are intended to close the operating gap between what tenants can reasonably pay and what it costs to operate the property at HUD-approved levels. Tenant rent contributions are generally set at 30 percent of adjusted income, and PRAC covers the difference between that tenant payment and the approved operating cost. In practice, this mechanism is what allows projects to remain financially viable while serving residents with very low incomes.
Eligibility is focused on nonprofit organizations holding a 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service, with additional organizational and ownership-structure details referenced in the NOFA (including guidance on forming an owner corporation, cited in Section III.C.3.m.). The opportunity explicitly indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can be a major factor for nonprofit sponsors assessing feasibility.
Key dates and administrative details included an original closing date of November 16, 2009, with a revised current closing date of December 17, 2009, reflecting the deadline extension tied to the NOFA corrections. HUD also noted that applicants who already submitted before the corrections were published could choose to resubmit an updated application reflecting the revisions; the last application received by Grants.gov by the December 17 deadline (and consistent with HUDs FY2009 Grace Period policy) would be the version reviewed and rated. The notice also specified a related environmental processing milestone, stating that the Phase II Environmental Assessment was due January 19, 2010. The estimated total funding amount listed for this opportunity was $90,600,000.
For applicant support and questions, HUD directed programmatic inquiries either to the appropriate local HUD office or to a HUD Headquarters contact, Marvis Hayward, at (202) 402 2255, with TTY access available via the Federal Relay Service at 800 877 8339. The notice also referenced an application package download method using the CFDA number, reinforcing that applicants should rely on the corrected official materials and updated package instructions when preparing submissions.
