Formula Grant FL14P13950126

The Winter Haven Housing Authority received a $503,488 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, provides capital funds to support modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, and management activities for the authority's public housing inventory. Eligible activities under this award include construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, rehabilitation and renovation of existing units, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and financing activities such as debt service payments for public housing developments.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program distributed to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide that collectively manage nearly one million housing units across all 50 states and territories. The Winter Haven Housing Authority must use these capital funds exclusively for activities specified in its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or for emergency work and repairs related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters. All expenditures are subject to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the authority must maintain accurate inventory data and budget records for HUD and independent auditor review throughout the performance period.
