Bid Number:RFP_Grant Writing Consultant Section 811
| Description |
| RIHousing seeks proposals from qualified firms to develop an application for the 2023 funding round of the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance for Persons with Disabilities (“811 PRA”) program. 811 PRA funding will be awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) on a competitive basis to States that: 1) can fully fund the initial costs of the Section 811 units without a traditional Section 811 capital advance grant from HUD and, 2) demonstrate a strong collaboration with their Health and Human Service/Medicaid agency to comprehensively address the needs of persons with disabilities. The 811 PRA program provides funding to state housing and other appropriate agencies for project-based rental operating assistance for extremely low-income persons with disabilities. The primary purpose of the Section 811 PRA Program is to identify, stimulate, and support innovative state-level strategies that will transform and increase housing for extremely low-income persons with disabilities, while also making available appropriate support and services. The 811 PRA program supports collaborations between State Housing and Health and Human Service/Medicaid Agencies that result in increased access to affordable supportive housing units – new and existing– with access to appropriate services. HUD issued its Notice of Funding Opportunity (“NOFO”) for the 811 PRA program in October, 2023.
