Formula Grant FL29P07050126

The Alachua County Housing Authority received a $1,042,704 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 for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving the Gainesville, Florida area. The Capital Fund allocation enables the housing authority to undertake eligible activities including construction, acquisition, modernization of public housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for development projects, consistent with the authority's approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work initiatives.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes annual grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Award amounts are calculated using established formulas reflecting each agency's inventory characteristics—including unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than through competitive application processes. The Alachua County Housing Authority, as a prime awardee, maintains independent management of this grant in accordance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and must certify its public housing inventory data annually in HUD's Information Management System.
