Federal Grant Award Summary

The Clayton Housing Authority received a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant award of $126,312.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, effective April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing in Clayton, Alabama, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of public housing units. The funding enables the authority to maintain and enhance its public housing inventory while serving low-income residents in the Clayton area.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, this award is calculated annually using established formulas that reflect the Clayton Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The capital funds may be used exclusively for eligible activities described in 24 CFR 905.200 that are either specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or disaster-related repairs. This award complements the authority's concurrent Public Housing Operating Fund grants, which support day-to-day operational expenses, creating a comprehensive funding structure that ensures sustained capital investment and operational continuity across the housing authority's portfolio.
