Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority City of Gainesville received a $502,048 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 funding supports capital and management activities essential to the modernization and development of public housing units serving low-income residents in Gainesville, Georgia. The grant may be applied toward eligible activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, routine maintenance, anti-crime and security enhancements, and management improvements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905 and the Housing Authority's approved 5-year action plan.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program administered by HUD to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. Awards are calculated using established formulas reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Recipients must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and accurately track public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System. The obligation deadline is subject to extension if requested before expiration, though expenditure deadlines are fixed.
