Summary

The Housing Authority of the City and County of Denver received a $9.66 million formula grant 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) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development of public housing units serving low-income residents throughout the Denver metropolitan area.

The Capital Fund allocation enables the Denver Housing Authority to conduct facility improvements and upgrades to its public housing inventory, which includes support for vulnerable populations such as elderly residents (44% of beneficiaries) and families with children (35% of beneficiaries). Eligible activities funded through this formula-based grant include modernization projects, development activities that expand or reconfigure housing units, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing costs associated with public housing development initiatives. All activities must be specified in the Authority's approved 5-year action plan or pre-approved by HUD for emergency work or disaster-related repairs, and the Authority must maintain compliance with applicable federal administrative requirements and reporting standards.
