HUD Housing for Elderly Gets Big Boost from

"Thousands of elderly and disabled public housing
residents rely on these grants to assist them in maintaining an
independent lifestyle, said HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson. In some
cases, these grants are the bridge to help our seniors and those with
disabilities to live a life that allows them to fully participate in
their communities and enjoy a wide range of opportunities.
The funding is from HUDs Resident Opportunities
and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) Elderly/Persons with Disabilities Program,
which public housing authorities, resident associations and non-profit
organizations compete for annually. The grants enable these entities to
hire project coordinators to work with elderly residents and those with
disabilities to link them with supportive services available in their
communities, such as transportation, health and wellness programs, and
nutritious meal services, allowing these individuals or families to live
independently longer.
HUD is the nation's housing agency committed to
increasing homeownership, particularly among minorities; creating
affordable housing opportunities for low-income Americans; and
supporting the homeless, elderly, people with disabilities and people
living with AIDS. The Department also promotes economic and community
development, and enforces the nations fair housing laws. More
information about HUD and its programs is available on the Internet at

and
