Bill > HR4874

This bill establishes the Affordable Housing Resident Services Grant Program, which would authorize the Director of the Administration of Children and Families to annually award competitive grants to eligible entities that own, manage, or provide services in federally assisted affordable housing properties. Priority will be given to non-profit organizations. The grants, which will be funded for 5 years, can be used for a variety of resident support services, including improving access to health services, providing educational opportunities, enhancing economic self-sufficiency, supporting aging in place, helping residents with disabilities live independently, and assisting with public benefits. Grants can cover up to 75% of service coordination activities, with at least 25% dedicated to service coordinator salaries and training. Eligible properties include various types of low-income and supportive housing programs, such as low-income housing tax credit properties, project-based rental assistance, and housing for seniors and persons with disabilities. Grant recipients will be selected based on criteria including the potential to provide new or more effective services, likelihood of achieving resident outcomes, experience with resident services, community partnerships, and commitment to serving diverse and underserved communities. Each year, grantees must submit a report on their activities and impacts, which will be publicly posted.
