Federal Grant Award Summary

The Sheffield Housing Authority received a $1.34 million 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 (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for the Authority's public housing portfolio in Sheffield, Alabama, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development of public housing units. The Capital Fund provides formula-based allocations to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide, serving nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories, with awards calculated according to each agency's inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application processes.

The Authority will utilize these funds for eligible capital activities specified in its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan, with permissible uses including facility modernization, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional public housing units, and financing activities related to standard and mixed-finance developments. All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the Authority must maintain accurate inventory data and cumulative cost records for HUD and independent auditor review. The award supports low-income residents across the Authority's jurisdiction, including elderly individuals, families with children, and persons with disabilities.
