Formula Grant CT26E00450126

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $135,800 to the Housing Authority of the City of New Haven on August 3, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to address emergency safety and security capital needs in public housing developments serving low-income residents in New Haven, Connecticut.

This award is designated from HUD's Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster set-aside for safety and security emergencies, including measures to address crime and drug-related activity. The grant provides one-time assistance for safety and security items that could not be absorbed within the Authority's annual Capital Fund grant. The maximum award amount under this program is $250,000; individual awards are determined based on proposed cost estimates, number of units identified in the proposal, and the description of the identified safety and security emergency. Awards are made through lottery due to high demand until the emergency and disaster safety and security set-aside is exhausted.

The period of performance runs from the award date through August 2, 2028. Place of performance is New Haven, Connecticut. The Public Housing Capital Fund supports capital and management activities for modernization and development of public housing, and permits PHAs to use capital funds for financing activities, including debt service payments, in standard and mixed-finance developments. There is no competitive application process; PHAs receive allocations through an annual formula based largely on the characteristics of their public housing inventory.
