Maryland Awarded $7.45 Million in Rental Assistance for Adults With Disabilities
Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Department of Housing and Community Development Secretary Jake Day announced in Annapolis on November 10 that the department has been awarded $7.45 million through the federal Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Program.
The award will provide eligible housing properties across the state with rental assistance funds to subsidize the rent of adults with disabilities, supporting access to stable, affordable housing and supportive services. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; eligible tenants must be extremely low-income, at or below 30 percent of Area Median Income, with at least one adult household member having a disability.
The department will award the funds to eligible rental housing developments through existing financing programs, including the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and the Multifamily Bond Program, and expects to deploy the funding over the next six to 12 months in line with program timelines.
