HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) recently released the report, HUD Section 811 PRA Project Rental Assistance Program Phase II Evaluation Final Report Implementation and Short-Term Outcomes, which examines the effects of the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA) program on residents' housing tenancy and use of home and community-based services, characteristics of properties and neighborhoods where assisted residents live, and residents' healthcare diagnoses and utilization. The PRA program represents a new approach to providing integrated supportive housing for nonelderly people with disabilities and was authorized by the Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act of 2010. This report summarizes the second phase of the evaluation of the PRA program. The evaluation compares short-term outcomes of the program against outcomes for similar residents with disabilities in the Section 811 Capital Advance/Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) program, in other HUD rental assistance programs, and receiving Medicaid but not assisted by HUD.
