Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6300 N 53
The Project Rental Assistance Program (PRA) under Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities is a HUD discretionary funding opportunity designed to help states expand and strengthen permanent, integrated housing options for extremely low-income people with disabilities who also need access to community-based long-term services and supports. The central aim is not just to subsidize rent, but to promote sustainable state-level systems that connect affordable housing with the services people need to live successfully in the community, rather than in institutional settings. HUD is looking for state approaches that can be replicated and maintained over time, especially those built on strong cross-agency coordination.
This opportunity provides project-based rental assistance rather than tenant-based vouchers. In practical terms, the funding is tied to specific housing units within multifamily properties, with those units set aside for eligible residents. The units must be integrated within broader multifamily developments, meaning they are not meant to be isolated or segregated buildings solely for people with disabilities. The target population is extremely low-income persons with disabilities who are eligible for community-based long-term care services and supports under a State Medicaid Program or another comparable long-term services and supports program. The intent is to align housing stability with reliable access to supportive services, so residents can remain housed and independent.
Funding is awarded through a cooperative agreement, and the primary recipients are housing agencies (with eligibility further clarified in the full notice). HUD expects to make about 8 awards, with an award ceiling of $7,000,000. Funds can be used for long-term project rental assistance contracts supporting the set-aside units, and the award also allows limited administrative cost coverage. Outside of rental assistance and the limited administrative uses permitted, other uses of funds are prohibited, emphasizing that this is a tightly focused rental assistance program rather than a broad housing development grant.
A defining feature, and a major threshold requirement, is the partnership structure at the state level. The state housing agency must have a focused partnership with the State Health and Human Service and Medicaid agencies responsible for ensuring participating residents have access to the services and supports necessary to live in the community. In other words, the housing side is expected to bring rental assistance and coordination with property owners and developers, while the health and human services side is expected to ensure service availability and access for eligible tenants. This cross-system collaboration is not optional; it is central to the program design and the outcomes HUD is trying to achieve.
The NOFA also encourages states to be strategic and flexible by combining or bundling Section 811 PRA funds with existing state-administered affordable rental housing finance and development programs. This means states can layer PRA subsidies onto units created through tools like state housing finance agency programs and other affordable housing development pipelines, helping to increase unit production and accelerate placement without requiring Section 811 to fund development costs directly. Administration of the project-based rental assistance can be handled directly by the housing agency, but HUD explicitly recognizes that some agencies may have limited experience with this particular model. In those cases, agencies are encouraged to partner or contract with qualified entities to administer the long-term rental assistance contracts effectively.
