What sources of funding are available to PHAs interested in offering supportive services to elderly residents?
There are two sources: 1. The Resident Services Delivery Models for Elderly/Persons with Disabilities under the Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency Grant Program (ROSS). This grant is competed each year and allows PHAs to tailor supportive services to the needs of their elderly residents. The grant announcement is included along with many other HUD-sponsored grant programs in the Department’s SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding Availability). The best way to learn when funding becomes available is to check HUD’s ROSS website, www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/ross, for publication of the SuperNOFA. 2. Elderly/Disabled Service Coordinator Program. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2004, the position will be funded through an Operating Subsidy add-on. Detailed instructions for preparing budget requests for this funding are located in HUD Notice # PIH 2003-22 which is also available by going to HUDCLIPS.
