The community in which the area is situated is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program in accordance with the applicable regulations (44 CFR parts 59-79), or less than a year has passed since FEMA notification regarding these hazards; and b. Where the community is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, flood insurance on the property is obtained in accordance with section 102(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act (42 U.S.C. § 4012a (a). Grantees are responsible for assuring that flood insurance is obtained and maintained. (However, for purposes of this program, a housing unit in a condominium (“condo”) or cooperative housing (“coop”) occupied by the older adult owner, renter, or shareholder for that unit as the primary residence is treated as being owner occupied, and may be eligible.) Beneficiary is the individual receiving direct services from the grantee. Also referred to as client. Beneficiaries must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in Section III.G of this NOFO The beneficiary must be: 1. The senior low-income occupant of the primary residence where the home modifications will be installed; 2. Elderly: For this NOFO, section I.A.4, above, defines this as being at least 62 years of age; 3. Low income: For this NOFO, section I.A. 4. above, defines this as having a family income less than or equal to 80% of local area median income (AMI) (see below); and 4. Not receiving project based rental assistance. Where the home is owned or rented by two or more individuals, at least one of the owners or renters must meet the criterion above. A home owned or rented by one member of a married couple, as recognized by the State, that is the primary residence of either or both members of the couple is eligible if the member(s) residing meet the senior and low-income beneficiary criteria above. Per-home benefit limits are not multiplied by the number of low income elderly adults residing in the home. Because the AMI low income determination under criterion 3 above is based on the jurisdiction in which the residence is located, family income and family size, (see https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il/il2024/select_Geography.o dn, the total family income, not just the income of the senior homeowner/tenant, will be used to determine the low income eligibility. For 2024, the income limits for low-income households are shown for each part of the country at https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il/il2024/select_Geography.o dn, and are based on the number of persons in the household. For determining income eligibility in subsequent years, see HUD’s Income limits website (as of the publication of this NOFO, at https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il/il2024/select_Geography.o dn, which will list the income limits and the income limits methodology for that year. (Typically, the limits are changed in the spring.) Additional beneficiary criteria: 1. physical condition of the primary residence. 2. previous home modification benefits received under this program. * Restrictions subject to change with or without notice to remain in complaince with funding rules and regulations The grantee WILL comply with all civil rights and nondiscrimination
