The Section 8 “Certain Developments” program provided PHAs with housing vouchers for non-elderly people with disabilities who are not eligible for HUD assisted privately owned developments because the developments are “elderly only” – meaning that the owner has adopted tenant selection policies that restrict or prohibit occupancy by people with disabilities under age 62. Certain Developments vouchers were made available by HUD to PHAs from 1997- 2002. 

HUD Notice PIH 2005-05

On February 1, 2005, HUD published a PIH 2005-05 that addressed the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and people with disabilities. This is the first Notice that HUD has provided to PHAs to inform them that all 62,000 vouchers must continue to be used for people with disabilities. Because they can only be issued to people with disabilities, these vouchers are a potential source of funding for supportive housing.
