Federal Grant Award Summary

The Valdosta Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $1,948,148 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 for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Valdosta, Georgia. Capital Fund allocations are calculated using established formulas based on each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.

The funded activities encompass eligible capital projects specified in the Valdosta Housing Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or those approved by HUD for emergency work and disaster-related repairs. Primary activities include public housing development and modernization efforts, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, and financing activities such as debt service payments for mixed-finance developments. The Authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and submit annual certifications documenting capital expenditures and project progress through the performance period.
