About this opportunity

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking applications for the Project Rental Assistance Program of Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities for FY 2025. This $150 million program will provide approximately 15 cooperative agreement awards to state housing agencies to fund project-based rental assistance for extremely low-income persons with disabilities. Eligible applicants must have an Inter-Agency Partnership Agreement with their state's health/human services and Medicaid agencies. Key evaluation criteria include relevant experience (33 points), need/housing platform (5 points), implementation approach (55 points), and program innovation (7 points). Applications must score at least 75 points to be considered for funding, and the deadline is April 17, 2025.

The anticipated award date is August 1, 2025, with a 60-month performance period consisting of five 12-month budget periods. Rental units must be in properties with at least 5 units, and no more than 25% of units can be designated for persons with disabilities. Administrative costs are capped at 8% of the total award. The program aims to support collaborations between state housing, health, and human service/Medicaid agencies to increase access to affordable permanent supportive housing for this target population nationwide.

Synopsis

The primary purpose of the Section 811 PRA Program is to identify, stimulate, and support innovative state-level strategies that will transform and increase housing for extremely low-income persons with disabilities while also making available appropriate support and services. HUD is seeking to support collaborations between State Housing and Health and Human Service/Medicaid Agencies that have resulted or will result in increased access to affordable permanent supportive housing units (new and existing) with access to appropriate services. Many States have already developed partnerships to address this need, and the Department hopes to further support these efforts as well as to incentivize additional states to develop similar collaborative efforts. This Section 811 PRA NOFO will allow HUD to identify and support successful and promising state models. This program provides states with the flexibility to award and administer these funds to address the shortage of affordable and integrated housing for persons with disabilities. Housing agencies may either directly administer the rental assistance contracts to eligible properties or contract with other qualified parties to administer the long-term rental assistance contracts.
