Housing and Urban
Development department
awards $8.7 million in
grants for elderly and
disabled housing
projects
WASHINGTON
– The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development awarded $8,796,564 in grants today to 32
public housing agencies and non-profit organizations
across the country for supportive services that help
elderly and disabled public housing residents.
"Thousands of elderly and disabled public housing
residents rely on these grants to assist them in
maintaining an independent lifestyle,” said HUD
Secretary Alphonso Jackson. “In some cases, these
grants are the bridge to help our seniors and those
with disabilities to live a life that allows them to
fully participate in their communities and enjoy a
wide range of opportunities.”
The
funding is from HUD’s
Resident
Opportunities and Self Sufficiency (ROSS)
Elderly/Persons with Disabilities Program,
which public housing authorities, resident
associations and non-profit organizations compete
for annually. The grants enable these entities to
hire project coordinators to work with elderly
residents and those with disabilities to link them
with supportive services available in their
communities, such as transportation, health and
wellness programs, and nutritious meal services,
allowing these individuals or families to live
independently longer.
HUD
is the nation's housing agency committed to
increasing homeownership, particularly among
minorities; creating affordable housing
opportunities for low-income Americans; and
supporting the homeless, elderly, people with
disabilities and people living with AIDS. The
Department also promotes economic and community
development, and enforces the nation’s fair housing
laws. More information about HUD and its programs
is available on the Internet at
www.hud.gov and
espanol.hud.gov.
