The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Housing Authority of the City of Tifton $1,206,250 in formula grant funding under the Public Housing Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.872) on April 1, 2026, with a completion deadline of March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that enhance or reconfigure the Housing Authority's public housing inventory. The funds may be applied to eligible activities specified in the Housing Authority's approved 5-year action plan or for emergency work, as defined under 24 CFR Part 905.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program whereby the Department of Housing and Urban Development calculates annual funding amounts for approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide based on established formulas reflecting each PHA's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Housing Authority of the City of Tifton, a local government entity serving low-income residents in Tifton, Georgia, will administer these capital funds to support its public housing portfolio and maintain safe, sanitary, and affordable housing units for vulnerable populations within its service area. All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the Housing Authority must maintain accurate budget and cost records for HUD and independent auditor review.
