Description: The Housing for Everyone program chooses a different housing-related theme every year. This year, applications must highlight the ways in which funding will create new affordable housing units focused on the needs of the elderly. Additionally, the housing must offer: access to medical and health services or programs; proximity to shopping, community and transportation services; and adaptability to the changing needs of aging populations.

 

Specifically, applications must focus on the following:

  • Preservation, rehabilitation and creation of safe, affordable, viable affordable housing units: This may include the redesign, reconfiguration and or re-use of existing space in affordable housing properties to create increased quality and quantity of affordable housing units for senior citizens. Upgrades to systems, structure and efficiency of properties to preserve and prolong their use will be considered.
  • Focus on senior citizens: Housing units, programs and services that cater to the unique needs of Senior Citizens in urban, suburban and rural communities will be viewed favorably. This may include but is not limited to access to health and medical services, public transportation, shopping, recreational facilities as well as on site services (that would be attractive to senior citizens and their families.
  • Utilization of abandoned properties to create new units of affordable housing: In urban, suburban and rural areas, the utilization of underused or abandoned properties to provide permanent or interim housing for low- and moderate-income individuals provides a tremendous opportunity to reverse neighborhood and community decline.
