The purpose of the 811 PRA program is to increase access to affordable housing with appropriate supportive services for extremely low-income persons with disabilities.  IHCDA was awarded 811 PRA through HUD’s 2019 and 2023 Notices of Funding Availability.

An eligible multifamily property is any new or existing property owned by a non-profit or private entity with at least five housing units.  This may include five or more units that are noncontiguous if under a single ownership entity.  The property may not already have an existing use restriction or contractual obligation to serve persons with disabilities and may not have a 62+ age-restriction.  811 PRA may not duplicate or supplant other project-based rental assistance sources tied to the property.

An 811 PRA eligible household is an extremely low-income household where at least one person must be an individual with a disability, 18 years of age or older and less than 62 years of age at time of admission into the property.  The person with the disability must be eligible for community-based, long-term services as provided through Medicaid waivers, Medicaid state plan options, state funded services, or other appropriate services related to the target population.
