Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP) for
Eligible Multifamily Housing Projects
The purpose of this program is to provide grants for the conversion of some or all of the dwelling units in an eligible project into assisted living facilities for frail elderly persons. Assisted living facilities (ALFs) are designed to accommodate frail elderly persons and people with disabilities who need certain support services (e.g., assistance with eating, bathing, grooming, dressing and home management activities). ALFs must provide support services such as personal care, transportation, meals, housekeeping, and laundry. Frail elderly person means an individual 62 years of age or older who is unable to perform at least three activities of daily living (ADLs) as defined by the regulations for HUD's Section 202 Program (Supportive Housing for the Elderly) at 24 CFR 891.205. Assisted living is defined in section 232(b)(6) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715w).
The ALCP provides funding for the physical
costs of converting some or all of the units of an eligible multifamily
development into an ALF, including the unit configuration, common and services
space and any necessary remodeling, consistent with HUD or the State's
statute/regulations (whichever is more stringent). Typical funding will cover basic physical conversion of
existing project units, common and services space.
Eligible developments include: 1) Section 202 projects, Section 202 projects receiving rental assistance under Section 8, and Section 202 projects receiving project rental assistance under Section 202(C)(2); 2) Rural housing projects assisted under Section 515 of the Housing Act of 1949 receiving Section 8 rental assistance; 3) Projects receiving project-based rental assistance under Section 8, among others, housing constructed, substantially rehabilitated or receiving moderate rehabilitation assistance under Section 8; 4) Housing financed by a below-market interest rate loan or mortgage insured under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act; 5) Housing with financing insured, assisted or held by HUD or a State or State Agency under Section 236 of the National Housing Act; and 6) Unused and underutilized commercial properties.
