Sec. 582.1  Purpose and scope.


    (a) General. The Shelter Plus Care program (S+C) is authorized by 
title IV, subtitle F, of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act 
(the McKinney Act) (42 U.S.C. 11403-11407b). S+C is designed to link 
rental assistance to supportive services for hard-to-serve homeless 
persons with disabilities (primarily those who are seriously mentally 
ill; have chronic problems with alcohol, drugs, or both; or have 
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and related diseases) and 
their families. The program provides grants to be used for rental 
assistance for permanent housing for homeless persons with disabilities. 
Rental assistance grants must be matched in the aggregate by supportive 
services that are equal in value to the amount of rental assistance and 
appropriate to the needs of the population to be served. Recipients are 
chosen on a competitive basis nationwide.
    (b) Components. Rental assistance is provided through four 
components described in Sec. 582.100. Applicants may apply for 
assistance under any one of the four components, or a combination.
