Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Oxnard Housing Authority a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant of $2,765,597 effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This grant provides capital funding to support modernization, development, and management improvements to the Authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Oxnard, California. Eligible activities funded under this award include infrastructure repairs, equipment replacement, emergency work, and facility improvements necessary to maintain safe and decent housing conditions, as well as development activities that expand or significantly reconfigure public housing units.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as an annual formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant program, with award amounts calculated according to established formulas reflecting each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Oxnard Housing Authority, which manages public housing serving elderly residents, families with children, and disabled individuals, must ensure all capital expenditures comply with applicable regulations under 2 CFR 200 and align with an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work requirements. Funds must be obligated by the deadline established by HUD, with all expenditures completed by the ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030.
