Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)
Eligibility. Applicants are housing agencies currently allocating Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986 (IRC), any applicable participating jurisdiction allocating and overseeing assistance under the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME), and/or a housing agency who operates a similar federal or state program to LIHTC or HOME. To be eligible, the applicant must have an Inter-Agency Partnership Agreement with the state agency responsible for health and human services programs, and the state agency designated to administer or supervise the administration of the state's plan for medical assistance under title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396, et seq.), i.e. Medicaid. Only one applicant per state will receive funding. In the event there is more than one applicant for a particular state, the State's Health and Human Services/Medicaid agency must decide which applicant it will partner with. If the State Health and Human Services/Medicaid Agency is included in multiple applications, none will be considered. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.

What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The primary purpose of the Section 811 PRA Program is to identify, stimulate, and support innovative state-level strategies that will transform and increase housing for extremely low-income persons with disabilities while also making available appropriate support and services. HUD is seeking to support collaborations between State Housing and Health and Human Service/Medicaid Agencies that have resulted or will result in increased access to 2 of 55 affordable permanent supportive housing units – new and existing– with access to appropriate services. Many States have already developed partnerships to address this need, and the Department hopes to further support these efforts as well as to incentivize additional states to develop similar collaborative efforts. This Section 811 PRA NOFA will allow HUD to identify and support successful and promising state models. This program provides states with the flexibility to award and administer these funds to address the shortage of affordable and integrated housing for persons with disabilities. Housing agencies may either directly administer the rental assistance contracts to eligible properties or contract with other qualified parties to administer the long-term rental assistance contracts.
