Federal Grant Award Summary

The Waycross Housing Authority received a $1,172,234 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, infrastructure improvements, and development activities serving low-income residents in Waycross, Georgia. The Capital Fund allocation is calculated using a formula based on the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process.

Under this award, the Waycross Housing Authority will utilize the capital funds for eligible activities including physical infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, modernization of existing units, emergency repairs, and management enhancements to its public housing portfolio. All expenditures must comply with 24 CFR 905.200 and align with the Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or be approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work. The Authority is required to maintain accurate inventory records in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with all capital activities subject to HUD and independent auditor review.
