Formula Grant FL29E05350126

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Milton Housing Authority $249,700 on August 3, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant program to fund capital needs for safety and security emergencies in public housing.

The award addresses one-time safety and security improvements—including crime and drug-related activity prevention measures—that could not be absorbed within Milton Housing Authority's annual capital fund allocation. The funding targets emergency safety and security items identified within the same federal fiscal year in which the grant was requested. The award is performance-based through August 2, 2028. Work is performed in Milton, Florida.

The Public Housing Capital Fund allocates formula-based grants annually to public housing agencies nationwide for capital and management activities, including modernization and development. HUD sets aside a portion of emergency and non-presidentially declared natural disaster funds specifically for safety and security grants to eligible PHAs. The maximum grant award is $250,000. Awards are distributed through lottery due to high demand, with funding allocation determined by factors including proposed cost estimate, unit count, and the safety and security emergency description. PHAs are limited to one safety and security grant application per federal fiscal year and cannot receive duplicate funding for the same developments.

Milton Housing Authority, a local government entity and public housing authority, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no federal contracting activity. The authority maintains accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System/Public Housing Information Center system to support formula calculation and certification.
