Converting existng housing to Assisted Living

Many small towns do work with a private nonprofit to provide a local housing program. Here's an opportunity you might want to pass along to them to convert some existing housing to assisted living facilities.

Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP)

The purpose of this program is to provide grants for the physical conversion of some or all of the dwelling units in an eligible project into assisted living facilities (ALFs) for frail elderly persons. Private nonprofit owners of eligible developments interested in applying for funding under this grant program should carefully review the General Section and the detailed information listed in this NOFA.

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.

Eligible applicants: Only private nonprofit owners of eligible multifamily assisted housing developments specified in section 683(2) (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), and (G) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L.102-550, approved October 28, 1992) may apply for an ALCP grant.

Total program funding: $20,000,000.
Application deadline: November 05, 2009.
