SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 7, 2014, at 79 FR 60590, HUD
published a proposed rule that would
implement amendments made by the
Section 202 Supportive Housing for the
Elderly Act of 2010 (Section 202 Act of
2010) and the Frank Melville
Supportive Housing Investment Act of
2010 (Melville Act) to the authorizing
statutes for HUD’s supportive housing
for the elderly program, known as the
Section 202 program, and the
supportive housing for persons with
disabilities program, known as the
Section 811 program. These two statutes
were enacted on January 4, 2011, and
made important reforms to the Section
202 and Section 811 programs, several
of which have already been
implemented through separate
issuances, as discussed in the
Supplementary Information section of
this proposed rule. In addition to
proposing regulations to implement
reforms of these two statutes, this
proposed rule would implement several
other changes to align with the
amendments made by the January 4,
2011, statutes, and streamline the
Section 202 and Section 811 programs
to better provide supportive housing for
the elderly and persons with
disabilities.
HUD’s proposed rule would establish
the requirements and procedures for the
use of new project rental assistance for
supportive housing for persons with
disabilities; the implementation of an

contract; allowance of a set-aside for a
number of units for elderly individuals
with functional limitations or other
category of elderly persons as defined in
the notice of funding availability
(NOFA); make significant changes for
the prepayment of certain loans for
supportive housing for the elderly;
implement a new form of rental
assistance called Senior Preservation
Rental Assistance Contracts (SPRACs);
modernize the capital advance for
supportive housing for persons with
disabilities; and provide grant assistance
for applicants without sufficient capital
to prepare a site for a funding
competition. This rulemaking also
proposes to establish the regulations for
the Service Coordinators in Multifamily
Housing program and the Assisted
Living Conversion program.
As noted in the Summary of this
notice, HUD provided a 60-day public
comment period that closed on
December 8, 2014. As HUD also noted,
the response to HUD’s solicitation of
public comment was lower than what
HUD expected, and HUD is therefore
reopening the public comment period
and seeking comments through January
15, 2015.

include your name and other contact
information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD–ROM

and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
