(For example, in a 52 unit development, at least 13 residents must be frail, at risk, or non elderly people with disabilities.) b. Were designed for the elderly or persons with disabilities and continue to operate as such. This includes any building within a mixed use development that was designed for occupancy by elderly persons or persons with disabilities at its inception and continues to operate as such, or consistent with title VI, subtitle D of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub.

You may use funds to continue a Service Coordinator program that has previously been funded through other sources. To be deemed eligible, you must provide evidence that these resources have already ended or will discontinue within six months following the application deadline date and that no other funding mechanism is available to continue the program. (This applies only to funding sources other than the subsidy awards and grants provided by the Department through program Notices beginning in FY 1992. HUD currently provides one year extensions to these subsidy awards and grants through a separate funding action.) 4. If your eligibility status changes during the course of the grant term, making you ineligible to receive a grant (e.g., due to prepayment of mortgage, sale of property, or opting out of a Section 8 HAP contract), HUD has the right to terminate your grant.

Opportunity Summary:
The Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing grant (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 22, CFDA 14.191) is a discretionary HUD grant designed to pay for the employment and support of Service Coordinators at certain HUD-insured or HUD-assisted multifamily housing developments. The basic purpose is to help elderly residents and nonelderly residents with disabilities remain stable, live independently, and age in place by connecting them to supportive services that already exist in the surrounding community. In practice, the Service Coordinator role is not about providing medical or direct care, but about organizing, referring, and linking residents to resources such as health and wellness services, benefits counseling, transportation, nutrition programs, and other community-based supports that reduce crises and unnecessary institutionalization.
This opportunity was posted September 1, 2009, with an application deadline of November 5, 2009 (archived November 10, 2009). HUD estimated total available funding at $20,000,000 for this round, and the funding instrument is a grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specific financial match as a condition of eligibility, although they still must show they lack other project funds that could cover the service coordinator function.
Eligibility is tightly tied to the property and its operating status, not simply to an organization type. To qualify, an applicant must meet the threshold requirements referenced in the HUD General Section (Section III.C), and must be the owner of an eligible assisted development under one of the specified programs: Section 202 Direct Loan, project-based Section 8 (including Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation), or certain Section 221(d)(3) below market interest rate and Section 236 developments that are insured or assisted. The property itself must be oriented to populations the program is meant to serve: it must have frail or at-risk elderly residents and/or nonelderly residents with disabilities who together make up at least 25 percent of the building’s residents. The development must also have been designed for elderly persons or persons with disabilities and must continue to operate that way; this can include qualifying buildings within mixed-use developments, and can also cover cases where an owner (with HUD approval) applies tenant selection preferences so that all units are effectively targeted to eligible elderly persons or nonelderly persons with disabilities.
HUD also requires that the property be in good standing and physically and financially viable. If the property is FHA-insured or financed with a Section 202 Direct Loan, it must be current on mortgage payments (or current under an approved workout agreement). It must meet HUD’s Uniform Physical Condition Standards based on the most recent inspection, generally demonstrated by a physical inspection score of 60 or better, or otherwise by having an approved corrective plan for scores below 60. The owner and development must be in compliance with the regulatory agreement, the Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract where applicable, and any other HUD grant or contract requirements.
A key eligibility screen is that the development cannot already have available project funds that could pay for a Service Coordinator program. HUD describes these as funds that require HUD approval for use (such as certain Section 8 operating funds, residual receipts, or excess income) and that are not needed for critical project needs. HUD field office staff make this determination using departmental financial records and information submitted in the application. The program can also be used to continue an existing Service Coordinator program that was funded from non-HUD sources, but only if the applicant provides evidence that those resources have already ended or will end within six months after the application deadline and that there is no other funding mechanism available to keep the program going. HUD notes separately that it provides one-year extensions to some prior HUD-funded awards through a different process, which is distinct from this competition.
The grant also includes an ongoing compliance risk for awardees: if the property’s eligibility status changes during the grant term in a way that would make it ineligible (for example, a mortgage prepayment, sale of the property, or opting out of a Section 8 HAP contract), HUD reserves the right to terminate the grant. That condition highlights that the funding is fundamentally tied to maintaining the property’s assisted status and its mission to house elderly residents and/or persons with disabilities.
For applicant support and questions, HUD directs owners to contact the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator contact in their local HUD office, and Section 515 owners are instructed to contact the HUD field office that monitors their Section 8 contract. A national point of contact listed for unresolved questions is Carissa Janis, Housing Project Manager, at (202) 402-2487, with TTY access through the Federal Information Relay Service at 800-877-8339.
