About this opportunity
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is soliciting FY 2027 cooperative agreement applications for the Project Rental Assistance program of the Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (CFDA 14.326), with applications due April 20, 2027. Eligibility is restrictive: only state governments may apply, and only one applicant per state can receive funding.
Eligible applicants are state or local housing agencies currently allocating Low Income Housing Tax Credits under IRC Section 42, or any state or local jurisdiction allocating and overseeing HOME or a federal or state program similar to LIHTC or HOME. The state housing agency must have an Inter-Agency Partnership Agreement with the state health and human services agency and the state Medicaid agency. If more than one applicant from a state applies, the state health and human services/Medicaid agency selects the partner. If that agency appears on multiple applications, none will be considered. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are ineligible.
The source does not state a ceiling, floor, expected award count, or cost share for this NOFO. Historically, the program has made 121 awards totaling $332.1 million since 2014. Recent awards cluster around $600,000 to $640,000, and Indiana received $640,000 in February 2026. Cooperative agreements run for a minimum of twenty years, with initial funding for the first five years and later funding subject to Congressional appropriations.
The program funds project-based rental assistance for extremely low-income persons with disabilities. Housing agencies may administer contracts directly or through qualified third parties. The program aims to identify, stimulate, and support innovative state-level strategies that increase access to new and existing affordable supportive housing, with state housing and Medicaid partnerships central to the design. Selection uses ranking and rating factors specified in the NOFO, which the source does not detail.
Recent cooperative agreement recipients include Connecticut ($1.565 million, January 2024), Texas ($2.468 million, January 2025), and Indiana. This opportunity follows FY 2026 solicitation HSG-2600-DC-0053, which had a July 13, 2026 due date.
Synopsis
The 811 PRA program promotes the development of innovative state-level strategies to increase access to new and existing affordable supportive housing units for persons with disabilities. The program also supports collaborations between State Housing Agencies and State Health and Human Service/Medicaid Agencies to increase access to supportive services. Many states have already formed partnerships to address this need, and HUD intends to further support these efforts while incentivizing other states to take similar approaches.
This program gives states 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 for eligible properties or contract with other qualified parties to administer this assistance.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants are state or local housing agencies currently allocating Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986 (IRC) or any state or local jurisdiction allocating and overseeing assistance under the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) program and/or a federal or state program similar to LIHTC or HOME. To be eligible, the state housing agency must have an Inter-Agency Partnership Agreement with (1) the state agency responsible for health and human services programs and (2) the state agency designated to administer or supervise the administration of the state's plan for medical assistance under title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1396, et seq.), i.e. Medicaid. Only one applicant from each state can receive funding. In the event that more than one applicant from the same state applies, the State's Health and Human Services/Medicaid agency must decide which applicant to partner with for this application. If that State Health and Human Services/Medicaid Agency is listed in multiple applications, none will be considered. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
