Note on SDA payment figures*
Maximum annual SDA payment under NDIA SDA Pricing Arrangements 2025–26. Assumes new-build, 3-resident HPS dwelling at full occupancy, with OOA, fire sprinklers, MRRC and location factor applied. Actual income depends on occupancy, participant plan funding, and provider agreement. This is the published price cap — not guaranteed income. An empty dwelling earns nothing.
Methodology
Shortage / Surplus = primary demand (P.17 "not yet housed") minus total vacant rooms (P.15 capacity minus P.17 housed). All dwelling types included.
Secondary demand = group home residents (4+ per dwelling). Shown separately — currently housed. Government intent is to defund legacy and group homes, but the NDIA has not published a transition timeline. Transition demand is context only, not confirmed near-term demand. Source: P.15.
Pipeline = SA4 context only, never subtracted. Source: P.8.
Qualifying: gap > 0, 50+ funded, 20+ unhoused. All data NDIA Supplement P Q3 2025–26.
