HUD Announces Funding to Provide Permanent Housing and Services to Low-Income People with Disabilities

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently allocated $120 million in rental assistance to State housing agencies to prevent homelessness and unnecessary institutionalization for people with disabilities. HUD's support of these State agencies is made possible through the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance program, which enables persons with disabilities who earn less than 30 percent of their area's median income to live in integrated mainstream settings.
