The Capital Fund provides formula-based allocations to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide to support capital and management activities serving low-income residents. This award will fund modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and management enhancements to the County of Marin's public housing inventory in San Rafael, California, in accordance with eligible activities outlined in 24 CFR Part 905 and the agency's approved five-year action plan.

The funding supports core public housing capital activities including construction, acquisition, and reconfiguration of public housing units; modernization of existing facilities; infrastructure and energy efficiency improvements; and financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance housing developments. As a formula grant program administered without competitive application requirements, the Capital Fund calculates allocations based on characteristics of each PHA's housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Award recipients must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, with obligation deadlines subject to extension requests prior to expiration.
