Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act of 2010
"The Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act makes improvements to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program. The legislation modernizes and simplifies the capital advance program for non-profit sponsors; integrates supportive housing for people with disabilities into larger multi-family affordable rental housing developments; protects an existing tenant-based program targeted to people with disabilities; and creates an innovative subsidy approach that will allow states and localities leverage additional capital funds for the creation of new units of supportive housing.
