Summary

The Fitzgerald Housing Authority of the City received $654,652 in formula grant funding 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 award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents within Fitzgerald, Georgia.

The funding will be applied to eligible capital activities including modernization, development, rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, and physical infrastructure improvements to the Authority's public housing inventory. As a formula-based allocation program, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application. The Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency repairs, and must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements while maintaining accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
