Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Public and Indian Housing Office, awarded $1,396,004 to the Waynesboro Housing Authority under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant program, 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 in Waynesboro, Georgia. Eligible uses of these funds include modernization of existing housing units, development and acquisition of additional public housing inventory, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and related management improvements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905.

The Waynesboro Housing Authority will utilize the Capital Fund allocation to perform development, modernization, and financing activities that enhance the safety, quality, and sustainability of its public housing portfolio. Funds may be applied toward construction and acquisition costs that expand or reconfigure the agency's housing inventory, systematic modernization of aging facilities, infrastructure improvements, emergency work, and financing costs associated with mixed-finance developments. All expenditures must align with an approved 5-Year Action Plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work or natural disaster-related repairs. The award reflects the Public Housing Capital Fund's formula-based allocation methodology, which determines funding levels according to characteristics of each Public Housing Agency's inventory rather than through competitive application processes.
