Opportunity Summary:
The Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing grant (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5700 N 15) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under CFDA 14.191. Its purpose is to fund the employment and ongoing support of Service Coordinators working in certain HUD-insured and HUD-assisted multifamily housing properties. These properties must have been originally designed to serve either elderly residents or nonelderly persons with disabilities, and they must still be operating with that same resident focus. The central idea behind the program is to strengthen residents ability to live independently by connecting them with community-based services, which also supports aging in place and helps residents remain stable in their housing.
A Service Coordinator funded through this program does not function as a direct medical or personal care provider. Instead, the role is primarily about coordination and linkage: identifying resident needs, helping residents navigate local supportive service systems, and arranging access to services that can sustain independent living. In practice, that can include helping residents connect to benefits and income supports, transportation resources, nutrition programs, health and behavioral health supports, in-home assistance resources, disability-related services, and other community programs. By organizing and streamlining these connections, Service Coordinators can reduce gaps in care, prevent avoidable crises, and improve residents ability to remain safely housed.
Eligibility is limited and property-specific. Only owners of eligible multifamily assisted housing, as defined in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), may apply. HUD makes clear that the eligible applicant must be the ownership entity that directly owns the eligible assisted housing, such as the mortgagor entity, a single-asset mortgagor, a single-purpose ownership entity, or another corporate entity that is the actual owner. A Managing General Partner in a partnership and property management companies are explicitly not considered eligible applicants. If more than one owner is involved through a joint application, every owner participating must meet the same owner-entity definition and satisfy all other eligibility requirements that apply to the lead applicant.
The opportunity was posted on August 15, 2013, with an original closing date of October 14, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of November 18, 2013. HUD anticipated making about 33 awards, and the program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants are not required to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity focus is categorized under housing, income security, and social services, reflecting the programs emphasis on supportive service coordination as a complement to stable, accessible housing.
For applicants looking for the official application materials, HUD directed users to download the application package and instructions using the CFDA number only. For access issues or questions related to the NOFA, the listed point of contact was Carissa Janis, Housing Program Manager, reachable at 202-402-2487.
