TWO LEWISTON APARTMENTS SERVING THE ELDERLY WIN GRANTS FROM HUD FOR SOCIAL SERVICE
Coordinators To Help Residents Continue To Live Independently At Home

BOISE, ID - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded $237,584 in grants for Service Coordinators at two HUD subsidized apartments in Lewiston that house low-income elderly - The Highlander and
Burrell Street Station. Service Coordinators help residents obtain supportive services provided by community
agencies. These services enable frail elderly and disabled residents to live as independently as possible for as long
as possible in their homes.

NWRECC Idaho Affordable Housing Preservation LP will receive $125,148 for Burrell Street Station located at 1124 Burrell Avenue, which has 40 units of elderly housing.

Highlander Limited Liability Corp will receive $112,436 for The Highlander located at 616 Warner Avenue which has
102 housing units.

These awards are part of $12.1 million in Service Coordinator grants awarded in 26 states to provide more than
6,000 low-income frail elderly and residents with disabilities in federally supported housing with assistance to
identify and receive health care, meals and other critical support services.

These two grants in Lewiston were the only ones awarded in Region X, which includes Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

The grants are directed to owners of privately owned multifamily housing developments that receive money from
HUD to house low-income individuals. The owners or their management companies then either hire or contract
service coordinators with backgrounds in providing social services to assist their residents with special needs. The grants pay the salary, fringe benefits, and related administrative expenses associated with employing a Service Coordinator.

HUD is the nation's housing agency committed to increasing homeownership, particularly among minorities; creating affordable housing opportunities for low-income Americans; and supporting the homeless, elderly, people with disabilities and people living with AIDS. The Department also promotes economic and community development, and enforces the nation's fair housing laws. More information about HUD and its programs is available on the Internet
