The Department of Housing and Urban Development recently announced $40 million in new funding for service coordination programs in affordable senior housing. The grants will fund approximately 160 programs across the country. The deadline to apply for the funding is March 11, and more details on the funding–including eligibility details and allowable uses of the funding–can be found here.
It is important to note that NCAL endorses the Expanding Service Coordinators Act, which would increase funding for and make reforms to service coordinator programs to expand the national service coordinator workforce, which is currently strained. Service coordinators connect individuals and families living in federally assisted housing with a wide range of social services, including health care, meals, transportation, job training, and education.
