New Funds for State Residential Program

SACRAMENTO, CA—The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) and the federal Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) say that the state will receive nearly $12 million in additional funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to continue California’s Section 811 Project Rental Assistance program.

The Section 811 program is a collaborative effort between CalHFA, HCD, the California Department of Health Care Services, and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, and enables disabled individuals (age 18-61) to transition from nursing homes, other institutions, or homelessness into healthier supportive housing. The $12 million will be used to provide rental subsidies for approximately 283 households in Los Angeles County.
