The Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Program provides competitive cooperative agreement awards for project-based rental operating assistance for extremely low-income people with disabilities. Eligible applicants are state or local housing agencies that allocate LIHTC or administer HOME or similar programs, and they must have partnership agreements with the state health and human services agency and the Medicaid agency; only one applicant from each state can receive funding. HUD says about $158 million is available and expects 16 awards. No cost share or matching is required, and the funds may be used only for rental assistance and up to 8% for administrative costs; the program is limited to housing units for extremely low-income households with at least one person ages 18 to 61 with a long-term disability, and units with existing federal or state housing operating assistance are not eligible.

Official description from grants.gov

The 811 PRA program promotes the development of innovative state-level strategies to increase access to new and existing affordable supportive housing units for persons with disabilities. The program also supports collaborations between State Housing Agencies and State Health and Human Service/Medicaid Agencies to increase access to supportive services. Many states have already formed partnerships to address this need, and HUD intends to further support these efforts while incentivizing other states to take similar approaches.This program gives states the flexibility to award and administer these funds to address the shortage of affordable and integrated housing for persons with disabilities. Housing agencies may either directly administer the rental assistance contracts for eligible properties or contract with other qualified parties to administer this assistance.
