Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Birmingham District received a $17.09M formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award provides financial assistance to support capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents across the Birmingham, Alabama region.

The funding will be allocated for eligible capital activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905, including modernization of existing public housing units, development or acquisition of additional public housing inventory, management improvements, and financing activities such as debt service and customary financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments. The Capital Fund award is distributed on a formula basis determined by inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application. The Housing Authority must obligate funds in accordance with HUD-approved 5-year action plans and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with expenditures required to be completed by the March 31, 2030 deadline.
