Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6700 N 74
The Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing (SCMF) Discretionary grant is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding opportunity (Assistance Listing/CFDA 14.191) designed to pay for service coordinator positions in certain HUD-assisted multifamily properties that serve older adults and non-elderly people with disabilities. The basic idea is to strengthen residents ability to live safely and independently where they are, rather than having needs go unmet until a crisis forces an avoidable move to a nursing facility or other higher level of care. Service coordinators are meant to act as the bridge between residents and the wider network of community-based supports, helping people navigate complex systems and connect to practical services that keep day-to-day life manageable.
Under this program, the service coordinator role is centered on helping residents identify needs, understand available options, and connect to appropriate resources. The work can include arranging nutrition and meal supports, linking residents to housekeeping, shopping, or transportation help, coordinating with health care providers, helping people apply for or maintain public benefits, and offering basic support around budgeting or financial management when that is a barrier to stability. The services being coordinated often relate directly to Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), which are the tasks that determine whether someone can function safely at home, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication management, and managing appointments. The program also explicitly contemplates residents with severe disabilities, recognizing that they may require more intensive coordination across multiple systems and providers.
A key feature is that resident participation is voluntary. Residents choose whether to engage with the service coordinator and which referrals or services they want to accept. Coordinators typically work with residents and, when appropriate, family members or informal caregivers to discuss individual preferences and goals, then tailor connections to supports that match those priorities. Beyond one-on-one assistance, service coordinators may organize educational programs and group activities that give residents practical tools for independent living, encourage social connection, and support health and well-being. They also help property management better understand the needs and trends within the resident population, which can improve how the building plans, communicates, and partners with local service providers.
Eligibility is tied closely to the type of housing being served. The property must be HUD-assisted or HUD-financed under specific programs: (1) Section 202 Direct Loan (as that section existed prior to the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act), (2) project-based Section 8 (including Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation), or (3) Section 221(d)(3) below-market interest rate (BMIR). In addition, the property must have been designed or designated for elderly persons or persons with disabilities and must continue to operate in that way. The notice also covers certain mixed-use developments, as long as the relevant building was originally designed for elderly or disabled occupancy and still operates consistent with those purposes, including frameworks referenced in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. If a property was not originally designed for these populations, it may still qualify if the owner, with HUD approval, applies tenant selection preferences for eligible elderly persons or persons with disabilities across all units in the property.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant, with HUD as the funding agency. The funding opportunity number is FR 6700 N 74, and the original closing date listed is May 23, 2024. HUD anticipated making around 160 awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the maximum award amount is not stated in that field and applicants need to rely on the full notice or program guidance for actual funding limits, eligible cost structures, and how HUD expects budgets to be built for coordinator staffing and related allowable expenses.
Not everyone is allowed to apply. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly ineligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The eligible applicant category is labeled broadly as "Others," which in HUD notices often means eligible organizations associated with qualified assisted properties, such as owners, nonprofit sponsors, or other entity types permitted by the Notice of Funding Opportunity and program rules, rather than private individuals.
Overall, the SCMF program is best understood as a preventive, resident-centered support model inside HUD-assisted housing. Instead of directly providing medical care or long-term services, it funds the coordination function: someone whose job is to help residents find, access, and keep the supports that make independent living realistic. The intended outcome is improved stability and quality of life for residents, stronger connections to community resources, and fewer premature, unnecessary transitions to institutional care driven by lack of coordination or missed opportunities for early support.Apply for FR 6700 N 74
