Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority City of Manila received $265,850 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, dated April 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in Manila, Arkansas. Eligible uses of these funds include public housing modernization, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements necessary to maintain safe and sanitary living conditions.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program that distributes federal resources to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million housing units across all 50 states and territories. Formula allocations are calculated based on each agency's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Housing Authority City of Manila must allocate these capital funds exclusively to eligible activities specified in its HUD-approved 5-year action plan or for emergency work, with compliance required under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and accurate inventory maintenance in HUD's Information Management System.
