Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 52
The FY 2020 Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6400 N 52; CFDA 14.157) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on expanding supportive rental housing for very low-income seniors. The program targets people who are age 62 or older and is intended to increase the supply of affordable homes that are not only cost-accessible, but also designed and operated in a way that helps older adults remain independent and age in their communities rather than being pushed into institutional care.
The core financial tools in this opportunity are Capital Advance funding and project rental subsidies. Capital Advances are intended to cover development costs for eligible supportive housing projects, while the rental subsidy component supports the ongoing operation of the property so that extremely limited incomes do not prevent seniors from affording a stable place to live. HUD also emphasizes that these federal funds are expected to be leveraged with other financing sources, meaning applicants are generally expected to combine HUD assistance with additional public or private resources to make projects feasible and to stretch the impact of the federal investment.
A central theme of the opportunity is supportive housing that goes beyond basic shelter. HUD highlights both physical design and services, signaling that successful projects should be built or rehabilitated with senior needs in mind (for example, accessibility features and layouts that support mobility and safety) and paired with a robust set of services that help residents live independently. While the notice summary does not list specific service models, the intent is clear: funded properties should enable aging in place through service coordination and supportive offerings that reduce isolation, improve stability, and help residents manage daily living needs while remaining in a community-based setting.
Eligibility is primarily limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), with additional eligible applicant categories referenced as "Others" subject to the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement. This structure reflects the program's long-standing orientation toward mission-driven ownership and operation of supportive senior housing, typically involving partnerships among housing developers, service providers, and local stakeholders.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on January 11, 2021, and the original application closing date was May 26, 2021, with a deadline of 11:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time. HUD anticipated making around 45 awards, and the maximum award ceiling listed is $20,000,000. The funding activity category is Housing, and the listing references Opportunity Zone Benefits as part of the broader category information, which may be relevant for projects located in designated Opportunity Zones depending on how an applicant structures complementary financing.
Overall, this grant competition is designed to increase the availability of affordable, service-enriched rental housing for very low-income seniors by pairing up-front capital for development with ongoing rental assistance for operations. The emphasis on leveraging other funds, senior-oriented design, and a strong service environment underscores HUD's goal of creating stable, community-based housing options that support independence and quality of life for older adults with limited incomes.Apply for FR 6400 N 52
