Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Attalla received a $319,264 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) for the performance period April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This grant provides capital funding to support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure upgrades across the authority's portfolio serving low-income residents in Attalla, Alabama. The funds may be deployed for eligible activities including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, physical modernization of existing units, financing activities such as debt service payments, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency improvements, contingent upon inclusion in the authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program administered by HUD, distributing annual grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all states and territories. Grant amounts are calculated using established formulas reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics—including unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than through competitive application processes. Recipients must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual certifications to maintain funding eligibility for ongoing capital improvements.
