Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Key West Florida received a $1,713,312 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 (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Key West. Eligible uses include physical improvements to housing structures, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that add to or reconfigure the authority's public housing inventory, consistent with the agency's HUD-approved five-year action plan.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program administered to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million housing units across all 50 states and territories. Awards are calculated based on established formulas reflecting each agency's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive solicitation. The Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual certifications to maintain program eligibility.
