FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED HOUSING PROGRAMS 1-18 Typical funding will cover basic physical conversion of common and services space in existing projects. The ALCP also provides funding for the physical costs of converting some or all of the units of an eligible development into an ALF, including the unit configuration and any necessary remodeling, consistent with HUD or the State's statute or regulations (whichever is more stringent). There must be sufficient community space to accommodate a central kitchen or dining facility, lounges, recreation and other multiple areas available to all residents of the project, or office/staff spaces in the ALF. Funding for the supportive services must be provided by the owners, either directly or through a third party, such as Medicaid, SSI payments, State or Area Agency on Aging, etc. Eligible Residents: The residents must be able to live independently but need assistance with activities of daily living (e.g., assistance with eating, bathing, grooming, dressing and home management activities). Eligible Sponsors: Only private nonprofit owners of Section 202, Section 8 project-based [including Rural Housing Services' Section 515], Section 221(d)(3) BMIR, or Section 236 housing developments that are designated primarily for occupancy by the elderly for at least five years are eligible for funding. A private nonprofit owner of an unused/ underutilized commercial property is also eligible for this program. Mortgage Insurance for Rental Housing for the Elderly (Section 231, Housing Act of 1959) Program Description: Section 231 insures mortgage loans to facilitate the construction and substantial rehabilitation of multifamily rental housing consisting of eight or more rental units for elderly persons (62 or older) and/or persons with disabilities. Eligible Residents: Elderly persons and/or persons with disabilities. Eligible Sponsors: Mortgagors include private profit-motivated developers, and non-profit sponsors. II. Related Programs Relocation (Title II Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970) Program Objective: To provide relocation payments to persons displaced by government actions, and to furnish relocation advice. Eligible Applicants: Displaced individuals and families, including elderly, and business concerns. Popular Name: CDBG Community Development Block Grants (Title I, Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended) Program Objective: The Community Development Block Grants are grants to state and local governments to fund a wide range of community development activities previously eligible under separate categorical grant programs. Within general HUD guidelines, localities can choose a variety of eligible activities such as housing development or rehabilitation, public facilities, and social services. Eligible Applicants: Elderly, like other community residents, benefit from ways the local government expends CDBG monies. The Consolidated Plan (see below) determines the amounts and location of HUD-aided housing to be approved. Eligible Sponsors/Developers: Units of state and local government in conjunction with business or nonprofit organizations.
FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED HOUSING PROGRAMS 1-19 Home Investment Partnerships Program (Title II, Cranston Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1991) Popular Name: HOME Program Program Description: The HOME Program helps to expand the supply of decent, affordable housing for low and very low-income families by providing grants to States and local governments referred to as participating jurisdictions or "PJs." PJs like the City of Philadelphia use their HOME grants to fund housing programs that meet local needs and priorities. PJs may use HOME funds to help renters, new homebuyers or existing homeowners. The Consolidated Plan (see below) determines how HOME funds are used. A mandatory set-aside of 15% of the funds for community housing development organizations (CHDOs) has stimulated interest from nonprofit organizations in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's Consolidated Plan allocates a substantial portion of the HOME Program funds for community-based organizations. Eligible Applicants: Elderly, like other community residents, benefit from ways the local government expends HOME Program funds. Eligible Sponsors/Developers: Units of local government in conjunction with business or nonprofit organizations. Popular Name: Con Plan Consolidated Plan (Cranston Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1991) The Consolidated Plan is a document written by a State or local government describing the housing needs of the low- and moderate-income residents, outlining strategies to meet the needs and listing all resources available to implement the strategies. The jurisdiction is required to consult with other public and private agencies that provide assisted housing, health services, and social services (including those focusing on services to elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, homeless persons and children) during preparation of the Consolidated Plan. An approved Consolidated Plan is required for a community to receive funding from the HUD Department of Community Planning and Development, including Community Development Block Grant funds and HOME Program funds.
