Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the County of Butte received a $1,137,513.00 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), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing units serving low-income residents in Butte County, California, consistent with the program's statutory mandate under Section 9(d) of the United States Housing Act of 1937.

The funded activities support public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, and management enhancements across the Housing Authority's portfolio. Eligible uses include construction and acquisition of housing units, facility upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and financing costs for public housing developments. The award is calculated using the Public Housing Capital Fund formula, which allocates resources based on inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. As a formula-based grant, the award does not require a competitive application process; rather, the Housing Authority maintains eligibility through annual certification of its public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
