Formula Grant CT26P01350126

The East Hartford Housing Authority received a $1.86 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 (CFDA 14.872), awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This grant funds capital and management activities for public housing serving the East Hartford community, including modernization of existing housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the public housing inventory. The Capital Fund supports both physical improvements to housing structures and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance public housing developments.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund distributes grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Awards are calculated using established formulas that account for each PHA's inventory characteristics—such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than through competitive applications. The East Hartford Housing Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in its five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work, while maintaining accurate inventory data and complying with federal audit and administrative requirements under 2 CFR 200.
