Funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and managed jointly by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Maryland Department of Disabilities (MDOD), the program operates as a project-based rental assistance subsidy. DHCD awards rental assistance to approved rental housing projects — not directly to individuals — while MDOD refers eligible tenants and provides supportive services. Projects must receive federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits or State Rental Housing Funds. Tenants pay 30% of their income toward rent and utilities; the program pays the remaining rent directly to the landlord. The initial lease term is one year, and rent does not change unless the participant's income changes. Eligible residents are non-elderly adults (ages 18 to under 62) with disabilities who receive Medicaid and have very low income (at or below 30% of AMI). The program links affordable housing with services and supports, promotes independent living, and provides tenants with resources such as personalized tenant training, transition planning, money management assistance, and access to voluntary support services. Administrative costs are capped at 8% of the annual award. Individual tenant assistance periods are up to 5 years. Cooperative Agreements have a minimum term of 20 years. Maryland received a $9,808,054 grant for 150 units under the FY2013 funding cycle. Multiple funding rounds have been awarded including FY2012, FY2013, and FY2019. Accessible housing units may include features such as widened doorways, elevator access, and accessible entryways. Authorized under the Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act of 2010.","funding":{"details":"Maryland received a $9,808,054 grant for 150 units under the FY2013 funding cycle."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bcbcccdb-0afd-52f3-9f98-dd0257007c14","name":"Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","allIds":[{"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","status":"active"},{"id":"834b3d8b-c62f-4ead-ac42-2eb43df5aa2e","status":"active"},{"id":"6edab60f-4b54-4d89-9aa1-8ae8083d53ef","status":"active"},{"id":"08e6922c-cc8d-49b8-8a90-5542613d0e74","status":"active"},{"id":"1a3ee814-85ff-4535-a796-a1f4c6864471","status":"active"},{"id":"d79075bb-0c92-4049-80ac-78c330ae609b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DHCD"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"}],"source":"https://dhcd.maryland.gov/housing/multifamily-financing-programs/section-811-project-rental-assistance-program","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Targeted Financing Programs","email":"dhcd.targetedprograms@maryland.gov,","phone":"410-767-3660"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"DHCD awards Section 811 funds to eligible rental projects through existing financing programs.
