Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Elba Housing Authority received a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant award of $419,013 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award funds capital and management activities to support public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Elba, Alabama. Eligible uses of the capital funds include construction and acquisition of public housing units, modernization of existing facilities, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for public housing developments.

As a Public Housing Agency, the Elba Housing Authority utilizes these formula-based allocations to execute 5-year action plans that address critical capital needs within its public housing inventory. The award complements the organization's concurrent Public Housing Operating Fund grant, which supports day-to-day operational expenses. Capital Fund awards are calculated annually using HUD's formula methodology, which factors inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Recipients must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and certify their public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
