From HUD:
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
The June 22nd Federal Register noted that the 2009 Appropriations Act provided funding for 4,000 new Housing Choice Vouchers for non-elderly disabled families. Some 1,000 of these vouchers, it adds, will go to non-elderly families transitioning out of nursing homes and other institutions into the community.” To help “better design the distribution” of these vouchers, HUD would like to hear your comments about “threshold factors used to distribute” the vouchers, “whether HUD should establish a more performance-based method” for distribution and how “State institutional transition programs” can “work effectively” with housing authorities receiving these vouchers. Comments due to HUD’s Office of Housing Choice Voucher Management & Operations by July 13th. For more, contact Phyllis.A.Smelkinson@hud.gov
(NAMI Louisville note: These Housing Choice Vouchers (formerly known as Section 8 vouchers) for "disabled families" include families dealing with mental illness.)
