The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Housing Authority of the County of Kern (HACK) a $155,402 Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) grant on January 1, 2025. This Formula Grant provides operating subsidies to HACK, a local housing authority in Bakersfield, California, to support the day-to-day operational expenses of their public housing projects.
The grant funds are used by HACK to perform a range of activities, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses related to operating and maintaining affordable housing units for low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. This funding helps HACK ensure the availability of decent, safe, and affordable housing options in the Bakersfield area, in alignment with HUD's strategic goals of addressing the need for quality affordable rental homes, promoting housing as a platform to improve quality of life, and building inclusive communities.
