Federal Grant Award Summary

The Hartwell Housing Authority received a $545,931 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 award supports capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, emergency repairs, and management improvements to the Authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Hartwell, Georgia.

Capital Fund allocations are distributed annually to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide based on established formulas reflecting each agency's inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive solicitation. Eligible activities must be specified in the Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or receive HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work. The Authority must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and submit annual certifications to the Information Management System/Public Housing Information Center to verify its public housing inventory data.
