HUD Issues CY25 Service Coordinator Grant Renewals with Expedited Submission Deadlines; Subsidy Payment Delays Should Be Fixed Early This Week
(June 9, 2025) On June 5th, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sent grant extension guidance to Resident Service Coordinator (RSC) grantees for their calendar year 2025 (CY25) programs. Because of the severe delay in issuing the guidance, HUD has implemented an expedited submission deadline of two weeks; all grantees must submit their grant extension packages by June 20th for HUD approval.
The extension package should include the budget for CY25, the current (2024) reporting requirements, and proof of submission of the CY24 Standards for Success reports. The extension guidance applies to all Service Coordinators in the Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing program and the Congregate Housing and Services Program (CHSP).
For budget submissions, all grantees may request HUD’s annual cost increase of 2.5 percent. In addition, in an email sent to grantees and shared by HUD with LeadingAge, HUD states that the agency “will consider cost increases during the [CY25] renewal period, subject to the availability of funds. HUD will prioritize cost increase requests for Personnel Costs (and associated increases in Fringe Benefits, Quality Assurance, and Indirect Costs) that are received by the deadline.”
LeadingAge applauds HUD for including the option for additional cost increases and also supports HUD’s efforts to reduce paperwork submission requirements. HUD explains: “As a streamlining measure…for the [CY25] reporting period, grantees will submit 50080 Expense Reports (for Service Coordinator grantees) and SF-425 federal financial reports (for CHSP grantees) for the entire [CY25] reporting period at the end of the calendar year with a due date of Jan. 30, 2026.” The single submission replaces the previous semi-annual reporting requirement.
Grantees can direct any questions to their Grant Specialist or ServiceCoordinatorMailbox@hud.gov. LeadingAge will post the renewal guidance and additional analysis on its website soon.
In other news, many LeadingAge affordable housing providers have reported missed subsidy payments for their June Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts. LeadingAge has been in touch with HUD regional and headquarters leadership to track down the issue across all five Multifamily Housing regions. According to HUD, the agency anticipates payment of June and earlier vouchers by early this week. Contact Juliana Bilowich (jbilowich@leadingage.org), LeadingAge’s Senior Director of Housing Operations and Policy, to report if you have still not received your outstanding payments by June 13th.
