The City of Decatur will provide minor <br /> home modifications, such as ramping, for persons with disabilities in order <br /> to improve livability and safety in their homes. In addition, due to <br /> physical disabilities some persons in this population segment live on <br /> limited incomes. Rent subsidy is sometimes required to allow persons <br /> with physical disabilities to afford safe, sanitary and decent housing. <br /> Another important element of this need is for people with disabilities to be <br /> integrated within standard housing units. An integrated approach to <br /> accessible housing minimizes stereotypes and helps people with <br /> disabilities live more independently. Soyland Access to Independent <br /> Living will serve as a referral agency to match those with housing needs to <br /> those who can provide it. <br /> Program ' - : ': �:Agency/Funding , �;N �;;,Aliocation <br /> , �. , .� � = Source � . , <br /> DHA Section 8 Rent Subsid 24 units DHA $1,300,000 <br /> Home Modification Ram Pro am (10 units) CDBG $25,000 <br /> Total $1,325,000 <br /> Subarea 3.3 Person With AIDS <br /> Persons With Aids Priority 1: To provide rent and utility assistance, case management, <br /> and other supportive services to persons with AIDS. <br /> Anticipated Results: Provide drug free and alcohol free housing with supportive services <br /> to help meet the needs of non- institutional victims of AIDS. <br /> Rationale: Persons with AIDS need housing options which include access to 24 hour <br /> medical services, companionship, and other supportive services.
