42 U.S.C. § 13632: Grants for costs of…

Summary

The Secretary can give grants to owners of certain federally assisted housing projects listed in section 13641(2)(B)–(G). Grant money must pay for hiring or keeping service coordinators under section 13631 to arrange services for residents who are elderly families or disabled families (as defined in section 13641). A coordinator paid by a grant may also help low-income elderly or disabled people living nearby. The Secretary will set the application form and how recipients are chosen. If a project does not get a grant, the cost of coordinators and up to 15 percent of service costs can be counted as an eligible project expense, but only if project rent and other income are available to pay those costs.
