Federal Grant Award Summary

The DeLand Housing Authority received a $294,341 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 program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in DeLand, Florida. The funding may be applied toward eligible activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the authority's housing inventory.

As a formula-based grant allocation (rather than a competitive award), the funding is calculated by HUD using established formulas that reflect the DeLand Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The authority must utilize these capital funds exclusively for activities specified in its HUD-approved 5-year action plan or for emergency work and repairs related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters. The award is subject to standard federal compliance requirements under 2 CFR 200 and requires the authority to maintain accurate budget records and inventory data in HUD's Information Management System for audit and oversight purposes.
