Description
This opportunity provides competitive grants for the development of new permanent supportive housing (PSH) units for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with a focus on those where at least one household member has a disability. The program—administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)—prioritizes projects that construct, acquire, or rehabilitate new PSH units and encourages coordination with healthcare and social service organizations. At least 80% of requested funds must be for new PSH units, with up to 20% available for other eligible costs, and a maximum of 10% for project administration. The initiative aims to increase housing options for vulnerable populations, particularly elderly individuals and those with ongoing support needs, and to foster community partnerships to maximize impact.
