Public Housing Capital Fund Award Summary

The Winfield Housing Authority received a $412,208 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Winfield, Alabama. The funds may be deployed for eligible activities including modernization of existing public housing units, development of additional units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments, as specified in the awardee's HUD-approved five-year action plan or for emergency work.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes funds to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. Awards are calculated using established formulas reflecting each agency's inventory characteristics—such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than through competitive applications. The Winfield Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with all capital expenditures subject to HUD audit requirements and cumulative cost record documentation.
