Formula Grant DC39P00150126

The DC Housing Authority received a $26.36 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) program, awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for the Authority's public housing portfolio, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and financing activities for public housing units serving low-income residents across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

The Capital Fund allocation enables the DC Housing Authority to execute eligible activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan, such as construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, rehabilitation and modernization of existing housing stock, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and debt service payments on standard and mixed-finance developments. The grant amount was calculated through HUD's annual formula methodology based on the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through a competitive application process, ensuring sustainable, formula-based funding for the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the Authority's substantial housing portfolio serving approximately 1.59 million residents.
