Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

Washington County Housing Authority received $100,581 in Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant funding 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 supports capital and management activities for public housing in Chatom, Alabama, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related development activities specified in the authority's approved 5-year action plan. The capital funds may be applied toward eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR 905.200, encompassing both physical improvements to the public housing inventory and financing-related costs for standard and mixed-finance developments.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant process, with HUD calculating awards based on characteristics of each Public Housing Agency's inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Washington County Housing Authority, serving low-income residents across Washington County, must maintain accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, including documentation and audit obligations. The authority is required to obligate the capital funds according to HUD timelines and may extend obligation deadlines if requests are submitted prior to the deadline expiration.
