Formula Grant CT26P04750126

The Naugatuck Housing Authority received a $464,303 formula grant award 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 in Naugatuck, Connecticut, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, and rehabilitation of public housing units serving low-income residents. The Capital Fund grant enables the Authority to maintain and enhance its housing inventory through eligible activities such as construction, acquisition, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance developments.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant, with awards calculated annually based on established formulas reflecting each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Funds must be used exclusively for eligible capital and management activities either specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or natural disaster-related repairs. The Naugatuck Housing Authority, as a participating Public Housing Agency, is required to maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual certifications to ensure continued eligibility for this recurring funding source.
