Summary of Federal Formula Grant Award

The Housing Authority of the City of New Haven received a $2,286,332 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) program, with an award date of April 1, 2026, and a completion deadline of March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in the New Haven, Connecticut area.

The award funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and related eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905. Specifically, the Housing Authority will use these capital funds for infrastructure improvements, facility modernization, emergency repairs, development activities that expand or reconfigure the public housing inventory, and financing costs associated with public housing developments. All activities must align with the organization's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or qualify as emergency work or disaster-related repairs. As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund award amount is determined by HUD's established formula reflecting the characteristics of the Housing Authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process.
