HUD AWARDS $143 MILLION IN GRANTS TO SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION AND PROJECT RENTAL ASSISTANCE FOR NEW MULTIFAMILY HOUSING FOR VERY LOW-INCOME SENIORS
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Multifamily Housing Programs announced on Wednesday that it has awarded $143 million in grants to non-profit organizations across the country to support the development of new affordable multifamily rental housing along with ongoing project rental assistance for very low-income seniors.
The awards were made under HUD's Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program and will help fund the construction and operation of 1,484 new deeply rent-assisted units for low- and very low-income seniors who will pay rent based on their income. Several of the grantees will be creating mixed-income communities, building 701 additional affordable and market-rate units as part of these funded projects, for a total of 2,185 homes.
"These awards support the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to increase housing stability among the nation's most vulnerable populations, including the very low-income seniors these grants will ultimately help," said Office of Housing Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Lopa Kolluri.
Section 202 grants provide very low-income elderly persons 62 years of age or older with the opportunity to live independently in an environment that provides support services to meet their unique needs. HUD provides these funds to non-profit organizations in two forms:
