Section 811 PRA Program Eligibility Requirements
The Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA) Program, authorized by the Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act of 2010 and first implemented as a demonstration program in FY 2012, seeks to expand the supply of supportive housing that promotes community integration for low-income people with disabilities by leveraging mainstream affordable housing, Medicaid, and other community-based supportive service resources.

Program Funding & Eligible Applicants
The Section 811 PRA Program awards funds to state housing agencies who: a) partner with state Medicaid and/or health and human services agencies that have developed methods for the identification, outreach, and referral of extremely low-income people with disabilities who need PRA-funded units; and b) allocate rental assistance to housing units set aside in affordable housing projects whose capital costs are funded through federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), federal HOME funds, or other federal, state, and local funding sources for eligible individuals.

The Section 811 PRA Program allows state housing agencies flexibility in structuring and administering PRA funds within the confines of the program requirements in the NOFA and statute. PRA funds can only be used to fund project-based rental operating assistance and allowable administrative costs relating to the administration of the Section 811 PRA Program, but cannot be used to fund any development costs.

To ensure community integration of PRA units, no more than 25 percent of the total units in eligible multifamily properties can: 1) be provided Section 811 PRA funds; 2) be used for supportive housing for persons with disabilities; or 3) have any occupancy preference for persons with disabilities.

Eligible Tenants
For PRA-funded units, tenants must be extremely low-income (at or below 30 percent of Area Median Income (AMI)) and at least one adult member of the household must have a disability. The person with the disability must be eligible for: community-based, long-term services as provided under the state’s plan for medical assistance under Title XIX of the Social Security Act (Medicaid), state funded services, or other appropriate services defined in the written partnership agreement.

Eligible Properties
Properties eligible for the Section 811 PRA Program may be new construction, rehabilitation, or existing properties and owned by a nonprofit, public, or a private entity. Properties must also meet the following requirements:


The Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program helps expand the supply of affordable housing with supportive services for the elderly. The program provides funding, called a capital advance, to construct, acquire, or rehabilitate multifamily properties that serve very-low-income individuals 62 years of age or older. In addition to the capital advance, properties receive a renewable Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) which covers reasonable and necessary operating expenses beyond the tenant’s portion of the rent. This usually includes a service coordinator who links residents at Section 202 properties to supportive services in the community to allow them to live independently in an environment that provides supports such as cleaning, cooking and transportation. Additionally, owners can utilize up to $15 per unit per month for providing supportive services.

Information for Tenants

To qualify to live in a Section 202 property, at least one adult member of the household applying must be at least 62 years old.

The household must make less than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) of the location of the property. You can find what 50% AMI is in your area here.

Residents at Section 202 properties are typically charged 30% of their adjusted income for rent, with the remaining costs covered by the federal government.

If you are interested in applying to live at a 202 property, you should contact the property owner or manager directly. HUD does not manage the leasing of 202 properties. You can find 202 properties in your area by visiting the HUD Resource Locator and selecting the “Find Affordable Elderly and Special Needs Housing” option.
