Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Flagstaff Housing Authority received $912,030 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program, with an award date of April 1, 2026, and a completion date of March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing in Flagstaff, Arizona, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, and financing activities. The Capital Fund operates on a formula-based allocation methodology that distributes funding to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories.

The Flagstaff Housing Authority will utilize these funds for eligible activities specified in 24 CFR Part 905, which may include public housing development, modernization, management improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and debt service payments. Capital Fund awards must align with the authority's approved 5-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work or repairs necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. The formula-based grant approach ensures funding allocation based on the characteristics of the public housing inventory, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.
