The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a notice of funding availability (NOFA) of approximately $15 million in funding under HUD’s Fiscal Year 2015 Supportive Services Demonstration for Elderly Households in HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing.
Funding made available under this NOFA must be used to fund supportive services in eligible existing HUD-assisted multifamily developments targeted to elderly households. Applicants must address requirements established under both the General Section to HUD’s Fiscal Year 2015 NOFAs for Discretionary Programs and this Demonstration NOFA.
HUD’s investment under this Demonstration is intended to produce evidence about the impact of a supportive services model in existing assisted senior developments on:
- Aging in place
- Transitions to institutional care
- Housing stability, well-being, health outcomes, and health care utilization (e.g., hospitalizations, emergency room visits) associated with nursing home placement and high health care costs
Properties that apply to this NOFA and are selected for the Treatment Group of the Demonstration will be required to implement the core components of the supportive services model, including an on-site, full-time Enhanced Service Coordinator, and an on-site, part-time Wellness Nurse, who will work as a team to conduct need assessments and coordinate and connect residents to supportive services.
To apply for the NOFA, visit Grants.gov and enter the funding opportunity number, FR-5900-N-22, no later than Monday, April 18, 2016.
If you have any questions about the NOFA, please email MFSC@hud.gov. Please note, HUD staff cannot assist applicants in preparing their applications.
