HUD announced a new application period for COVID-19 Supplemental Payment (CSP) funding. Assisted multifamily property owners may use these funds for operating expenses associated with protecting residents and staff from COVID-19. Eligible properties include those financed with Section 202 Housing for the Elderly, Section 811 Housing for Persons with Disabilities and Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance programs. Applications are due Feb. 21, 2023. HUD does not anticipate making future CSP funding available following this round.
This round of funding will allow owners to submit applications for reimbursement of eligible expenses incurred for the four previously announced operating periods from March 27, 2020, through Oct. 31, 2021, and the new operating period announced today from Nov. 1, 2021, through Jan. 31, 2023. HUD has expanded the current list of eligible expenses to include reimbursement for resident training on the use of technology to access online property management portals and supportive services, and costs to enhance outdoor seating spaces to facilitate gatherings.
