Formula Grant FL29E05750126

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $204,000 to Palatka Housing Authority on August 3, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to address capital needs for safety and security emergencies in public housing.

The award funds one-time assistance for safety and security items that address emergency needs within Palatka Housing Authority's inventory and could not be absorbed within the agency's annual capital fund grant. HUD established this funding stream specifically to support Public Housing Agencies nationwide serving approximately one million units across all 50 states and territories in responding to crime and drug-related activity emergencies and other safety hazards. Awards are distributed through lottery due to high demand, with a maximum grant ceiling of $250,000. Each PHA may receive only one safety and security grant application per federal fiscal year, and the safety or security emergency must occur within the same federal fiscal year in which funding is requested.

Performance runs through August 2, 2028, with place of performance in Palatka, Florida. The award is classified as a formula grant under the Public Housing Capital Fund program, which provides capital and management funding annually to PHAs for modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents. Palatka Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no contracting or subcontracting activity; HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office represents 100 percent of the authority's customer concentration.
