Formula Grant AR56P04350126

The Dumas Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $314,662.00 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) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing in Dumas, Arkansas, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs to the Authority's public housing inventory. The Capital Fund is distributed annually to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide through a formula-based allocation methodology that accounts for inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.

The funding enables the Dumas Housing Authority to enhance and maintain affordable housing units serving low-income residents in the local community. Eligible uses of Capital Funds include development activities that add to or reconfigure public housing units, modernization of existing properties, management improvements, financing activities including debt service payments, and emergency repairs. All capital activities must be specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work, with compliance required under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and applicable provisions of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
