Federal Grant Award Summary

The Tuscaloosa Housing Authority received a $3,089,171 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, dated April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for public housing in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Capital Fund provides financial assistance to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide serving nearly one million housing units. Eligible activities funded through this award include public housing modernization, development and acquisition of public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, management improvements, and financing activities including debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

The Tuscaloosa Housing Authority will utilize these Capital Fund allocations to address capital improvement and development needs within its public housing inventory. Awards under the Public Housing Capital Fund are allocated annually through a formula-based methodology established by HUD that reflects each agency's inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The funds are restricted to eligible activities specified in the approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency and disaster-related work. The awardee must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements) and accurate inventory certification in HUD's Information Management System throughout the four-year performance period.
