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.
