Formula Grant FL29P00150126

The Jacksonville Housing Authority received a $6.85 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing operations, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional housing units, and management enhancements across the authority's portfolio serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Jacksonville area.

The Capital Fund provides financial assistance to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide for eligible activities specified in approved five-year action plans or approved emergency work. Eligible uses of these funds include development and acquisition of additional public housing units, modernization of existing units, management improvements, debt service payments, and financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance developments. The funding is allocated through a formula-based methodology reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Jacksonville Housing Authority must maintain compliance with federal administrative requirements under 2 CFR 200 and submit annual certifications to HUD regarding its public housing inventory data maintained in the Information Management System.
