Assisted Living Facilities Under Section 232; Final Rule DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Samenvatting

This rule amends HUD regulations to implement statutory authority to insure assisted living facilities for the care of frail elderly persons. The authorizing statute is section 511 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. The rule also expands current regulations to include the refinancing of conventional (non-FHA insured) nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, assisted living facilities or board and care homes under section 232, pursuant to section 223(f) of the National Housing Act, and to insure additions to such projects. Finally, the rule makes certain conforming changes required by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and makes other minor technical changes that remove ambiguities or reflect long- standing Departmental policy.
