Service Coordinator Grants


	Information by State Print version

Each year HUD offers grant monies to owners of HUD assisted housing, enabling them to hire a Service Coordinator to serve their residents. The announcement of funds is made in the early part of each calendar year, usually in February or March. This notice is part of the Department's Super Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The SuperNOFA provides general information for all of HUD's competitive grant programs, as well as a separate NOFA for each grant program.

Service Coordinator grants are made for an initial three-year term and provide funding for the salary, fringe benefits, and related administrative costs associated with employing a Service Coordinator. HUD awards grants to owners of HUD assisted multifamily housing, namely developments built with or subsidized by the following programs: Section 202, project-based Section 8, Section 236 and Section 221(d)(3) Below-Market Interest Rate. All housing must be designed or designated for sole occupancy by elderly persons (aged 62 and older) and/or younger people with disabilities (aged 18 to 61).

Service Coordinators are primarily involved with the following types of activities:

	Provide case management and information and referral services.
	Educate residents on available services and benefits and on tenancy issues.
	Establish linkages with community agencies.
	Monitor provision of service

	Advocate for residents.
	Educate housing management staff.
	Work with resident organizations.
	Help residents set up informal support networks.
	Educate housing management staff.
	Set up volunteer programs

Service Coordinators cannot act as recreational or activities directors; provide supportive services directly, or assist with other administrative work that is normally associated with housing operations.

Service Coordinator funds can be used for the following types of expenses:

	Salary
	Fringe benefits
	Quality Assurance
	Training

	Travel
	Creation of private office space
	Computer hardware, software, and Internet service
	Office furniture and supplies

HUD plans to provide extension funding to these grants, beyond the initial three-year term, but the ability to do so is always dependent upon annual Congressional appropriations.
