PURPOSE
In a demonstration, to offer the captured lessons from existing
resources for the new and emerging affordable assisted living
market; to help advance and link the industry with low and
moderate income elderly and with the developer/operator; to
be able to maximize lessons learned for potential replication.
Also to suggest guidelines for and serve as a resource in
selection of any demonstration projects.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
One or more demonstrations will be selected for each of the
three years of the grant. While the demonstrations will be
eligible for predevelopment loans (if not for profit entities)
and technical support from RWJF, long term financing and program
support must come from existing resources. Because of the
timing of RWJF grant award relative to funding cycles for
some of the key financing sources in Wisconsin, especially
the low income housing tax credit, selection of the initial
demonstration(s) will most likely be limited to proposals
already in the pipeline. For future funding cycles, we may
solicit applications in advance.
The first task of the work group will be to identify lessons
we want to learn from the demonstrations and recommend guidelines
for the demonstrations. These will be used in negotiating
with potential initial demonstration developers and to provide
a basis for selecting any future demonstrations. The work
group will serve as a resource for both the negotiation and
selection process. The work group will also be asked to review
progress of the demonstrations and provide feedback throughout
the term of the grant.
