Summary
Section 811 provides capital and project based rental assistance to create housing for people with disabilities across the United States.
Tenant Eligibility Criteria
Very low-income adults with disabilities. This includes persons with physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, chronic mental illness, or any combination of the three. Section 811 is designed to create permanent, affordable housing opportunities for people with disabilities who are in institutional or group home settings, or homeless.
Eligible Applicants
Nonprofit organizations that serve people with disabilities.
Amount
Capital funding up to $2.5 million per project. Funding limited to HUD Total Development Cost Limits, available on HUD's website.
Rental Assistance is provided to units in affordable housing based on Fair Market Rents, requiring tenant contribution of 30% of income.
Term
Five-year initial term which is renewable annually.
Network Notes
- Sources of services funding must be documented to ensure that housing is truly supportive.
- Funded supportive units must be 25% or less of a total mixed use project. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage for construction workers applies for projects with more than twelve 811-funded units.
- HUD area total development cost (TDC) limits are often less than half of the real TDCs. Most 811 projects will require additional capital for the supportive housing units.
- Additional funding for project based rental assistance only is being made available to state Housing Finance Agencies.
