The 811 PRA program promotes the development of innovative state-level strategies to increase access to new and existing affordable supportive housing units for persons with disabilities. The program also supports collaborations between State Housing Agencies and State Health and Human Service/Medicaid Agencies to increase access to supportive services. Many states have already formed partnerships to address this need, and HUD intends to further support these efforts while incentivizing other states to take similar approaches.This program gives states 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 for eligible properties or contract with other qualified parties to administer this assistance.

The program will increase the recruitment of qualified candidates from INL Bogota’s priority geographic areas —regions that are critical to U.S. interests due to their high levels of coca production, narcotrafficking, and child recruitment by criminal organizations. By building a more capable and professional police force in these strategically important areas, this scholarship program will help disrupt criminal networks at their source, reducing the flow of illicit drugs, weapons, and human trafficking that threaten the United States. The program will support the recruitment and training of approximately 1,000 CNP students per year: 600 for non-commissioned officer (NCO) roles and 400 for commissioned officer (CO) roles. A stronger Colombian police presence in these regions will advance U.S. national security priorities, safeguard American lives, and promote stability in the Western Hemisphere. The program will provide scholarship support to qualified candidates through a structured financial management system. The implementor will ensure timely monthly electronic funds transfer payments to the bank accounts of scholarship recipients or service providers for required items. Scholarship recipients will receive electronic funds transfers only for approved support expenses. To strengthen internal controls, the implementer will minimize direct cash handling and ensure all disbursement are documented and subject to audit.

Program Description: The purposes of the Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program are to (1) help address State-identified shortages and needs for personnel preparation in special education and early intervention, including infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities; and (2) ensure that those personnel have the necessary skills and knowledge, derived from practices that have been determined through scientifically based research, to be successful in serving those children. The purpose of the Expanding Career Pathways and Workforce Readiness of Special Education Teachers and Early Intervention Personnel Through Registered Apprenticeships competition is to fund cooperative agreements that support registered apprenticeship1 programs that attract, prepare, and retain special education teachers or early intervention personnel.
