Section 811 funds nonprofit organizations to develop and operate affordable rental housing with supportive services for low-income adults with significant disabilities, enabling them to live independently in the community. The program provides project-based rental assistance and requires coordination with state Medicaid programs to deliver long-term supports and services such as personal care, transportation, and employment assistance. Referrals are typically made through state housing and Medicaid agencies.
