JPH & Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce the grand opening of Presbyterian Apartments of Northport, located directly outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This is a 42 unit affordable senior citizen apartment complex located adjacent to Phase I which was completed over 20 years ago. The project cost approximately $4.7 million and was financed with US Department of HUD Section 202 funding. JPH & Associates wrote the grant and coordinated development of the project. What makes this project unique is the fact that the individual units were manufactured off-site and re-assembled on site. This modular design facilitated quality control, energy efficiency and speed of construction. The process proved to be 1/3 faster than standard construction and it represents the first modular type construction project built in Alabama using Section 202 funding.

Grant Announcement
Catholic Charities of Central Florida was awarded $6 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funding for Osceola County to construct affordable housing for the elderly.

House and Senate Make Progress on FY11 Appropriations for HUD Section 811 and 202 Programs
Thursday, July 29th, 2010Congress had a productive week of appropriations work, with both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees passing FY11 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (T-HUD) spending bills. The Senate Appropriations Committee also marked up its Department of Agriculture bill, which includes funding for rural housing programs (see article below on rural bills).
The House Appropriations Committee’s T-HUD mark up took place on July 20, following passage of the bill through the Subcommittee earlier in July (see Memo, 7/2). At the full committee mark up, T-HUD Subcommittee Chairman John Olver (D-MA) addressed committee members, saying that the subcommittee bill as passed would ensure that affordable housing opportunities are available to families recovering from the economic downturn.
Mainstream vouchers for the Section 811 Supportive Housing for People with Disabilities program were also included in the Senate’s bill, at the $114 million level requested by the Administration and included in the House bill. These funds were formerly included in the Section 811 line item but were moved by the Administration in an attempt to streamline voucher funding requests.
The Senate bill funds the Section 811 program at $200 million, below the House level of $300 million. The Administration requested only $90 million for the capital advance portion of the program, instead of its FY10 level of $186 million. Members of both the House and Senate expressed their intent to continue funding the Section 811 program despite the Administration’s proposed cut. The Senate level of $200 million, along with the $114 million in rental assistance, would boost the program by $14 million above FY10 levels. The House bill would increase the program by $114 million.
The Senate would also fund the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program at the FY10 level of $825 million, again disregarding the Administration’s proposed cuts.

The House Subcommittee Budget for 2011
Saturday, July 24th, 2010The House Subcommittee would also fully fund mainstream vouchers for people with disabilities at $114 million, the same as the President’s request. The Administration separated the rental assistance from the Section 811 Housing for Persons with Disabilities program in its FY11 request, transferring the funds in full to the Tenant Based Rental Assistance line item as mainstream vouchers. The House Subcommittee bill would provide these requested funds within the tenant-based line item.
The House bill also funds the Section 811 program at the FY10 level of $300 million, effectively providing an increase of $114 million to the program with the additional funds within the tenant-based line item. The President’s budget request would fully fund the Section 811 tenant-based vouchers, but would cut the production side of the Section 811 program by $96 million.
The Administration also proposed cutting the production portion of the Section 202 Housing for the Elderly program, and the Subcommittee’s bill would include funding for the program at the FY10 level of $825 million.
