Opportunity Summary:
The Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5600 N 21) is a discretionary HUD grant under CFDA 14.191 that supports owners of certain HUD assisted multifamily properties in hiring or maintaining a service coordinator. The basic purpose of the program is to help elderly residents and nonelderly residents with disabilities connect to supportive services that already exist in the community, so they can remain safely housed and live as independently as possible. While the coordinator is tied to a HUD assisted property, the description also notes service coordination can extend to eligible residents in the surrounding area, which reflects HUDs broader goal of stabilizing vulnerable households and reducing avoidable institutionalization.
Funding was posted March 13, 2012, created May 10, 2012, and closed May 14, 2012, with an archive date of May 21, 2012. The estimated total funding available for this round was 15,000,000, and the award instrument is a grant with no cost sharing or matching requirement. HUD also issued a process note during the open period: a corrected logic model was posted in the instructions download. Applicants who had not yet submitted were expected to use the updated logic model, while applicants who had already submitted were not required to resubmit; however, if selected, HUD indicated it would ask them during negotiations to complete the corrected version. Importantly, HUD stated the closing date did not change as a result of that correction.
Eligibility is limited to owners of eligible HUD assisted multifamily housing, and the property itself has to meet a fairly specific set of conditions. First, the housing must be assisted or financed through one of the qualifying HUD programs: Section 202 Direct Loan, project based Section 8 (including Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation), or Section 221(d)(3) below market interest rate and Section 236 (insured or assisted). Second, the resident population must include a significant share of people the program is designed to serve: frail or at risk elderly residents and/or nonelderly residents with disabilities must together make up at least 25 percent of the buildings residents (HUD even provides a simple example: 13 out of 52 residents). Third, the building must have been designed or designated for elderly persons or persons with disabilities and must still operate in that manner. HUD clarifies that this can include a building within a mixed use development if it was originally intended for elderly or disabled occupancy and continues to operate that way, or properties covered under the relevant provisions of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. If a property was not originally designed for that population, it may still qualify if the owner provides HUD approved preferences in tenant selection for eligible elderly persons or nonelderly persons with disabilities for all units.
Beyond basic program eligibility, HUD requires the property to be financially and physically in good standing. If the property is FHA insured or financed with a Section 202 Direct Loan, the owner must be current on mortgage payments or current under a workout agreement. The property also must meet HUDs Uniform Physical Conditions Standards, evidenced by a score of 60 or better on the most recent physical inspection, or alternatively by having an approved plan for properties that scored below 60. The owner must be compliant with the regulatory agreement, the Housing Assistance Payments contract (if applicable), and any other outstanding HUD grant or contract requirements. HUD also requires that the property not have other available project funds that could pay for a service coordinator, such as Section 8 operating funds, residual receipts, or excess income, when those funds would be available with HUD approval and are not needed for critical property needs. HUD notes that field office staff make this determination using HUD maintained financial records and information submitted with the application.
The opportunity also highlights an ongoing eligibility risk during the grant term: if a propertys eligibility status changes in a way that would make it ineligible, HUD will terminate the grant. Examples given include prepayment of the mortgage, sale of the property, or opting out of a Section 8 HAP contract. That condition is important for applicants because it means the award is tied to continuing participation in the qualifying HUD assistance or financing structure and continuing compliance over time, not just eligibility on the application date.
For access and support, HUD directed applicants to the application download page using the CFDA number only, and advised anyone having trouble accessing the full announcement to contact the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator contact person in the local HUD office. If local field staff could not answer a question, HUD provided a headquarters contact: Carissa Janis at (202) 708 3000 (not toll free).
