Federal housing officials have awarded $138.5 million in grants to state housing agencies to expand housing and supportive services to low-income people with disabilities.

The funding is being made through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Section 811 project rental assistance program.

Awardees will work to address long-term housing security and affordability issues for persons with disabilities within existing, new, or renovated multifamily developments and facilitate community integration. In collaboration with Medicaid and/or health and human services agencies, awardees will also connect individuals with community-based support and services for the long term, said officials.
