Public Housing Capital Fund Award Summary

The Norwalk Housing Authority received a $2.78 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 program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Norwalk, Connecticut, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of public housing units. The Capital Fund also enables financing activities such as debt service payments and customary financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance public housing developments.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes resources to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. The Norwalk Housing Authority must utilize these capital funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work, with compliance required under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The award reflects the authority's public housing inventory characteristics and demonstrates HUD's ongoing commitment to supporting adequate capital infrastructure and modernization for vulnerable populations.
