Implications of Project Size in Section
811 and Section 202 Assisted Projects for Persons with Disabilities
(March 2005, 72 p)
In recent years, there has been growing interest among different
groups representing and serving persons with disabilities
in providing more mainstream housing opportunities for this
constituency. This research investigates the social and economic
implications of project size in Section 811 and Section 202
(direct loan) projects for persons with disabilities, their
residents, and the immediate neighborhoods. A congressional
mandate requires that this study look specifically at the
benefits and problems associated with providing Section 811
housing in projects with 7 or fewer units, 8 to 24 units,
and more than 24 units; and the benefits and problems associated
with providing housing for non-elderly persons with disabilities
under the Section 202 (direct loan) program, in projects having
30 to 50 units, 51 to 80 units, 81 to 120 units, and more
than 120 units. This report presents the study’s findings.
