Federal Grant Award Summary

The Heber Springs Housing Authority received a $217,201 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) 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, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional housing units, management enhancements, and emergency repairs as specified in 24 CFR Part 905. The funding enables the Authority to address critical capital needs within its public housing inventory through activities documented in its five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program, with HUD calculating award amounts based on characteristics of each Public Housing Agency's inventory, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Heber Springs Housing Authority, as a public housing agency serving low-income residents in Heber Springs, Arkansas, maintains eligibility through continuous certification of its housing inventory data. These capital funds may be used exclusively for eligible activities that support the modernization, development, and operational sustainability of the approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories.
