Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program:
The federal Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program provides housing with supportive services and rental assistance for low income elderly, including elderly with disabilities. Prior to 1991, the program did not include funding for services, so Section 202 projects vary in the services provided, ranging from none to a full complement of support services, which may include a daily congregate meal, housekeeping, transportation, social services, and other activities that help residents maintain independent living. Most buildings have a number of accessible units for the disabled. Residents pay 30% of their income for rent, with federal subsidies covering the balance of the unit’s fair market price.
To be eligible for residency in most Section 202 projects, applicants must have low or moderate income and at least one household member needs to be 62 years of age or older. Two tiers of income guidelines exist, with older developments using the higher maximum income limit.
In general, wait times for available apartments at existing Section 202 buildings are considerably long. Many residences may no longer be accepting applications.
