SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Supportive Housing Development Program in NC provides housing with supportive services for households with special needs. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, local governments, and for-profit organizations. The program offers various types of housing for homeless and non-homeless populations with disabilities, including mental illness, physical disabilities, and substance abuse. Funding options include loans and predevelopment loans. The program has funded over 2,000 units since 1994, investing millions of dollars in projects across 44 counties. However, challenges include capacity of nonprofit organizations and competition for local funding.
