Formula Grant CA01P00350126

The Housing Authority of the City of Oakland, California received a $5,310,696 formula grant award 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. The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supports capital improvements and modernization activities for public housing units serving low-income residents in Oakland. Eligible uses of these funds include public housing development, modernization, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency enhancements, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes annual grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. Award amounts are calculated using established formulas reflecting each agency's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Housing Authority must comply with applicable uniform administrative requirements under 2 CFR 200 and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System to support ongoing program eligibility and financial accountability.
