Housing Needs of People with Disabilities

U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development

The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) manages several programs that respond to the housing needs of people with disabilities. HUD's Section 811 program provides funding to nonprofit organizations to develop rental housing with supportive services for very low-income adults with disabilities and provides rent subsidies. HUD also offers housing choice vouchers so that very low-income families, the elderly and people with disabilities can afford decent, safe housing. HUD's Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program addresses the housing needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Find a HOPWA program near you. The Department also plays a central role in protecting the housing rights of people with disabilities and others by investigating complaints filed under the Fair Housing Act.
