Moreover, according to this commission, more than one-third of the elderly tenants of government-subsidized housing require assistance with some type of activity of daily living, such as making a meal or getting in and out of bed. This testimony, which is based on a report issued in February 2005, discusses (1) the federal housing assistance programs requiring that supportive services be made available to elderly residents, (2) other Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs that assist the elderly in obtaining supportive services, and (3) private partnerships and federal health care programs that may provide supportive services to elderly beneficiaries of federal housing assistance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-795T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-795T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-795T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-795T.pdf GAO-05-795T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-795T Testimony GAO-05-795T; Elderly Housing: Federal Housing Programs and Supportive Services; Elder care Elderly persons Housing Housing programs Interagency relations Low income housing Mortgage programs Mortgage protection insurance Program evaluation Public assistance programs Public housing Rural housing programs HUD Assisted Living Conversion Program HUD Congregate Housing Services Program HUD Neighborhood Networks Program HUD ROSS Grant Program HUD Section 202 Elderly Housing Program HUD Section 232 Mortgage Insurance Program
