Assisted living facilities help elderly individuals with daily living activities.
Federal programs are available to both individuals and state or local governmental agencies to create assisted living programs, make repairs to existing facilities or even convert housing units into assisted living facilities. The goal of these programs is to increase the number of facilities that are available to the elderly who can live on their own, but still need some assistance with daily living activities.
ALCP
The Assisted-living Conversion Program provides grants to private, nonprofit owners of multi-unit homes. The goal of this program is to convert some of the available space in these units into assisted living facilities for the elderly. Before the organization can apply for the grant, they must be licensed and regulated by the state where they operate. Further, the facility must have enough room to accommodate living spaces, a kitchen, a recreation area and office spaces. Funds may be used for general conversion purposes and for the creation of common or office spaces. Grant amounts will vary on need.
