Federal Grant Award Summary

The Little River County Housing Authority received a $438,924 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 program (CFDA 14.872). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supports capital improvements and modernization activities for public housing units serving low-income residents in Foreman, Arkansas. Eligible activities funded through this award include public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, management enhancements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance housing developments.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Housing Authority must obligate these funds in accordance with its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency work and disaster-related activities. All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data and budget records subject to HUD and independent auditor review throughout the performance period.
