Formula Grant GA01E17250126

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Homerville Housing Authority $250,000 on August 3, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to address safety and security emergencies at public housing developments.

The award funds capital needs for safety and security measures, including improvements to address crime and drug-related activity, that the authority could not absorb within its regular annual capital fund allocation. Homerville Housing Authority serves low-income residents in Homerville, Georgia, and the performance period extends through August 2, 2028.

HUD established this funding stream as a one-time assistance mechanism for eligible public housing agencies experiencing emergency safety and security needs that occur within the same federal fiscal year in which the grant is requested. The award was selected through a lottery process due to high demand for the limited set-aside funding. The maximum grant award amount under this program is $250,000, and each public housing agency may submit only one safety and security grant application per federal fiscal year. An agency is ineligible to receive this funding if it has previously received safety and security assistance for the same development or developments.

The assistance type is a formula grant. The Public Housing Capital Fund provides annual allocations to public housing agencies for capital and management activities, including modernization, development, and financing activities in standard and mixed-finance public housing developments serving low-income residents.
