Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority City of Bristol received a formula grant award of $1.2 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, dated May 15, 2026, with a completion date of May 14, 2028, supports capital and management activities for public housing properties serving low-income residents in Bristol, Connecticut. Under this program, the authority will utilize funding for modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and other capital management improvements to its public housing portfolio.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program designed to serve approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Funding allocations are determined by established formulas reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Housing Authority City of Bristol, as a direct implementer of federal housing assistance programs, maintains ongoing eligibility through continuous certification of its public housing inventory information in HUD's Information Management System.
