Amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to authorize: (1) the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to make grants to public housing agencies to convert public housing units primarily occupied by elderly persons to assisted living or other supportive services facilities in order to enhance such persons' ability to maintain independent living; and (2) such grants to provide for service coordinators.
Authorizes appropriations for elderly housing service coordinators and congregate services under specified federally-assisted and public housing programs.
Directs the Secretary to carry out a pilot program (up to five housing projects) to determine the effectiveness of providing assistance under the supportive housing for the elderly program for projects that are used for both supportive housing for the elderly and for other types of housing, including market rate housing.
