- What it does
- To preserve the current elderly housing stock by converting units with a grant into Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) or Service-Enriched Housing (SEH) for the frail elderly aging in place, as defined in Section 232(B)(6) of the National Housing Act and 202(k). The program is expected to promote aging in place and prevent premature institutionalization of the target population.
- Who benefits
- Eligible residents who meet the admissions/discharge requirements as established for assisted living by State and local licensing, or HUD frailty requirements under 24 CFR 891.205 if more stringent. The residents must be able to live independently but may need assistance with activities of daily living (that is, assistance with eating, bathing, grooming, dressing and home management activities). Service-Enriched Housing is designed to accommodate elderly persons and people with disabilities with a functional limitation, meaning residents who are unable to perform at least one activity of daily living.

To be eligible, owners must meet the following criteria: (1) Must be in compliance with Loan Agreement, Capital Advance Agreement, Regulatory Agreement, Housing Assistance Payment Contract, Project Rental Assistance Contract, Rent Supplement or LMSA Contract, or any other HUD grant or contract document; (2) Must be in compliance with all fair housing and civil rights laws, statutes, regulations, and executive orders as enumerated in 24 CFR 5.105(a).

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
