Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Waterbury received a $3.45 million formula grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supports capital improvements and modernization activities for public housing units serving low-income residents in Waterbury, Connecticut. Eligible activities funded through this grant include construction, acquisition, rehabilitation of public housing units, infrastructure upgrades, and financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance developments.

As a formula-based allocation, the Capital Fund award is calculated according to HUD's established methodology, which considers characteristics of the housing authority's public housing inventory such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Waterbury Housing Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for activities specified in an HUD-approved five-year action plan or for emergency work and repairs necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. All expenditures and activities must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with the authority maintaining detailed budget and cost records subject to HUD audits and independent auditor review.
