U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Supportive Services Demonstration for Elderly Households in HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing

Eligibility: Owners of existing eligible federally assisted multifamily properties

Available Funding: $15 million for 80 awards 

Deadline: April 18, 2016

Description:  HUD’s Supportive Services Demonstration for Elderly Households in HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing will offer three-year grants to eligible owners of HUD-assisted senior housing developments to cover the cost of a full-time Enhanced Service Coordinator and a part-time Wellness Nurse. The purpose of the Demonstration is to test the effectiveness of this enhanced supportive services model for elderly households and to evaluate the value of enhanced service coordination paired with affordable housing for seniors. The demonstration will be independently evaluated to determine the impact of the enhanced supportive services model on:

• aging in place in HUD-assisted senior developments;
• avoiding early transitions to institutional care, and;  
• preventing unnecessary and often costly health care events—such as some emergency room visits and hospitalizations—for residents in HUD-assisted senior developments.
