Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Manchester Housing Corporation $751,827 through the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. As a formula grant recipient, Manchester Housing Corporation will utilize these funds to support capital and management activities for public housing units within its jurisdiction, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. The Capital Fund allocation is calculated based on established formulas reflecting the housing authority's inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process.

The funding enables Manchester Housing Corporation to carry out eligible activities specified in its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan, with permissible uses including construction, rehabilitation, debt service payments for financing activities, and management improvements. As with all Public Housing Capital Fund awards to the approximately 2,770 participating Public Housing Agencies nationwide, Manchester Housing Corporation must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The grant represents one component of the authority's federal funding portfolio supporting both operational and capital initiatives to serve low-income residents in Manchester, Connecticut.
