‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—The term ‘permanent 
supportive housing’ means permanent, afford-
able housing with flexible support services that 
are available and designed to help the tenants 
stay housed and build the necessary skills to 
live as independently as possible. Such term 
does not include housing that is time-limited. 
Supportive housing offers residents assistance 
in reaching their full potential, which may in-
clude opportunities to secure other housing that 
meets their needs and preferences, based on in-
dividual choice instead of the requirements of 
time-limited transitional programs. Under this 
section, permanent affordable housing includes 
permanent housing funded or assisted through 
title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless As-
sistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360 et seq.) and sec-
tion 8 of the United States Housing Act of 
1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f). 
‘‘(B) AFFORDABLE.—For purposes of sub-
paragraph (A), the term ‘affordable’ means 
within the financial means of individuals who 
are extremely low income, as defined by the 
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
