TAC/New Additions Awarded Unique Contract to Further Federal Collaboration Activities

Today Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced new funds for states to build innovative systems to link persons with disabilities to affordable housing in their home communities. These funds will help promote partnerships within HHS and with other departments, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development to create a productive collaboration in ensuring that people with disabilities, seniors and individuals with chronic conditions have new opportunities to live as valued members of their communities.

This new $3.2 million, three-year contract is designed to create unprecedented collaboration between human services agencies and housing authorities at all levels of government to help persons living in institutions find homes and live more independently. The effort, the Housing Capacity Building Initiative for Community Living, will be led by New Additions Consulting Inc. with TAC as a primary subcontractor.
