Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Apalachicola received a $186,624 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 necessary to modernize and maintain the Authority's public housing inventory for low-income residents in Apalachicola, Florida. Eligible uses of Capital Fund allocations include public housing development, modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements as specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes annual grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide serving nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. The funding amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. The Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual Capital Fund certifications to maintain continued eligibility for this recurring funding stream.
