Expanding, preserving, and improving the supply of affordable and accessible senior housing is LeadingAge’s top priority. Many LeadingAge members have utilized HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) to convert and preserve affordable senior housing properties. Through the annual appropriations process, Congress and HUD are working on a number of improvements to the program to make the preservation tool more feasible for Section 202 PRAC (and Section 811 PRAC) properties. LeadingAge strongly supports improvements to RAD for 202 and 811 PRACs, as well as RAD for Public Housing. More information is available here.
