Opportunity Summary:
The Supportive Services Demonstration for Elderly Households in HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5900 N 22; CFDA 14.191) is a HUD discretionary funding opportunity designed to help older adults living in certain elderly-restricted, HUD-assisted independent multifamily properties remain in their homes as they age. The core idea is that stable, affordable housing can be an effective platform for improving health and quality of life when it is paired with well-organized supportive services. HUD is using this demonstration to test and learn what works, not just to fund services, so the program is built around both service delivery and rigorous evaluation.
Under the demonstration, HUD provides a supportive services subsidy that pays for key on-site staff and a small amount of flexible service-related costs. Specifically, the subsidy is intended to cover the reasonable costs of employing a full-time enhanced service coordinator and a part-time preventive health nurse. In addition to staffing, HUD also allows a nominal allocation for eligible services expenses that support aging residents. The funded model reflects HUDs premise that when seniors have safe and accessible housing, practice healthy behaviors, and can easily connect to wellness, preventive care, long-term services and supports, and social relationships, they are more likely to maintain independence, experience better health outcomes, and avoid higher-cost settings like nursing facilities.
HUDs evaluation focus is central to the demonstration. The agency plans to assess how well the selected housing-plus-services models help elderly residents live independently and successfully age in place. Outcomes of interest include improvements in general well-being, better health outcomes, changes in health care utilization, and prevention or delay of institutionalization. In practical terms, HUD is looking for evidence that coordinated services in HUD-assisted senior housing can reduce avoidable health crises, support daily functioning, and keep residents stable in their communities.
Funding priority is given to sponsors and owners that can clearly demonstrate capacity to accomplish three connected goals. First, they must strengthen the availability of supportive services by using the service coordinator role to build and maintain partnerships between the housing provider and external service organizations, such as health providers, aging services networks, and community-based supports. Second, they must actively support aging in place by creating an environment where residents can access home- and community-based services that promote well-being and improved health. Third, they must help build the evidence base for Section 202 housing as a health-supportive platform by participating in a HUD-led research effort that standardizes how outcomes are measured, ensures the enhanced service coordinator model is implemented consistently across sites, and enrolls eligible applicants into a random assignment study.
Participation comes with formal evaluation responsibilities. As a condition of receiving funds, sponsors and owners must cooperate with HUD staff and HUD-funded evaluators, including contractors or grantees conducting the study. HUD indicates the evaluation will be carried out by independent researchers working in collaboration with participating properties. This means awardees should be prepared for structured data collection, consistent implementation requirements, and research protocols tied to measuring resident outcomes and health care utilization and costs.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals HUD will have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out, particularly around the standardized model and evaluation requirements. The activity category is Housing, and the opportunity anticipated up to 80 awards. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which generally indicates that the maximum award amount was not specified in that summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full NOFA materials. The closing date for applications was April 18, 2016, and the opportunity was posted January 20, 2016. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, suggesting that only certain types of sponsors or owners of eligible HUD-assisted elderly properties, likely including Section 202-related entities, could apply.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Supportive Services Demonstration for Elderly Households in HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing?
It is a HUD discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5900 N 22; CFDA 14.191) focused on helping older adults living in certain elderly-restricted, HUD-assisted independent multifamily housing remain in their homes as they age. The demonstration pairs stable, affordable housing with well-organized supportive services, and it is explicitly designed to test and learn what works through a rigorous evaluation component.
What is the main purpose of this demonstration?
The purpose is to support aging in place for elderly residents in eligible HUD-assisted senior properties by funding a housing-plus-services model and participating in a structured evaluation. HUD is aiming to determine whether coordinated supportive services in senior housing can improve well-being and health outcomes, influence health care utilization, and help prevent or delay institutionalization (for example, entry into nursing facilities).
Is this funding only for providing services, or is research involved too?
Research and evaluation are central to the demonstration. HUD is not only funding service delivery; it is also testing models and building evidence. Awardees are expected to participate in a HUD-led research effort that standardizes outcome measurement, supports consistent implementation of the enhanced service coordinator model, and enrolls eligible applicants into a random assignment study.
Who is this program intended to help?
The program is intended to benefit older adults living in certain elderly-restricted, HUD-assisted independent multifamily properties. The goal is to help these residents remain stable in their housing and maintain independence as they age.
What kinds of housing properties are involved?
The opportunity targets certain elderly-restricted, HUD-assisted independent multifamily properties. The notice also indicates the effort is intended to help build the evidence base for Section 202 housing as a health-supportive platform, suggesting that eligible properties are likely connected to Section 202 and similar HUD-assisted elderly housing categories, as specified in the full announcement.
What does HUD mean by "aging in place" in this demonstration?
In this context, aging in place means helping elderly residents remain in their current homes and communities while maintaining independence. The model emphasizes safe and accessible housing paired with supports that help residents practice healthy behaviors and connect to wellness, preventive care, long-term services and supports, and social relationships.
What does the supportive services subsidy pay for?
The subsidy is intended to cover the reasonable costs of employing (1) a full-time enhanced service coordinator and (2) a part-time preventive health nurse. HUD also allows a nominal allocation for eligible service expenses that support aging residents.
What is an "enhanced service coordinator" in this program?
Based on the notice description, the enhanced service coordinator is an on-site, full-time staff role funded by the subsidy. The role is designed to strengthen supportive services by building and maintaining partnerships between the housing provider and external service organizations such as health providers, aging services networks, and community-based supports, while also helping implement the standardized model HUD is evaluating.
What is the role of the part-time preventive health nurse?
The funding is intended to support a part-time preventive health nurse as part of the core on-site staffing model. The demonstration ties the model to wellness and preventive care connections, and the nurse role aligns with the program emphasis on preventive health and improved health outcomes.
Are there funds for other service-related expenses beyond staffing?
Yes. In addition to staffing, HUD allows a nominal allocation for eligible services expenses that support aging residents. The description indicates these are flexible, service-related costs, but the specific eligible cost details would be defined in the full NOFA materials.
What outcomes is HUD trying to evaluate through this demonstration?
HUD plans to assess whether the selected models help elderly residents live independently and successfully age in place. Outcomes of interest include improvements in general well-being, better health outcomes, changes in health care utilization, and prevention or delay of institutionalization. HUD is also looking for evidence that coordinated services can reduce avoidable health crises, support daily functioning, and keep residents stable in their communities.
What does "health care utilization" mean in the context of this opportunity?
In the context of the evaluation, "health care utilization" refers to how residents use health care services over time (for example, whether coordinated supportive services influence patterns of care). HUD also notes interest in measuring health care utilization and costs as part of assessing the model's impact.
How does HUD plan to build evidence through this program?
HUD intends to build evidence by standardizing how outcomes are measured across participating sites, ensuring the enhanced service coordinator model is implemented consistently, and enrolling eligible applicants into a random assignment study. This is designed to generate stronger evidence about what works in HUD-assisted senior housing settings.
