24 C.F.R. § 891.115
§ 891.115 Notice of funding availability. (24 CFR Part 891)
Operative Text
Following an allocation of authority under § 891.110, HUD shall publish a separate Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Section 202 Program of Supportive Housing for the Elderly and for the Section 811 Program of Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities in the Federal Register. The NOFAs will contain specific information on how and when to apply for the available capital advance authority, the contents of the application, and the selection process.
Under 24 CFR Part 891 § 891.115, once HUD allocates funding authority pursuant to § 891.110, it is required to publish separate Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) in the Federal Register — one for the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program and one for the Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program. Each NOFA serves as the official public announcement detailing how applicants can seek capital advance funding, what an application must contain, and how HUD will evaluate and select recipients. This process ensures that the availability of federal housing funds and the rules governing competition for those funds are publicly disclosed before any applications are accepted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nonprofit sponsors and other eligible entities interested in developing supportive housing under the Section 202 or Section 811 programs should monitor the Federal Register for NOFAs published pursuant to 24 CFR Part 891 § 891.115, as each NOFA establishes the specific application window, required submission contents, and selection criteria for that funding round. Compliant applicants typically structure their proposals in direct response to the requirements outlined in the applicable NOFA, since eligibility and competitiveness are evaluated against those published standards. Staying current with Federal Register notices and HUD program announcements is a standard practice for organizations seeking capital advance authority under these programs.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For elderly individuals and people with disabilities seeking affordable supportive housing, 24 CFR Part 891 § 891.115 establishes that HUD must publicly announce available funding for the Section 202 and Section 811 programs through NOFAs in the Federal Register, making the process transparent and accessible. While tenants do not apply for capital advances directly, understanding that these NOFAs govern how new supportive housing projects are funded can help advocates and residents track the development of housing resources in their communities. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD-approved housing counseling agencies can be useful resources for learning how these funding announcements may affect housing availability in a given area.
