Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Newton Housing Authority received $122,607 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing operations serving low-income residents in the Camilla, Georgia service area. The funding may be applied toward eligible activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related management improvements as specified in the authority's HUD-approved 5-year action plan.

The Public Housing Capital Fund is a non-competitive, formula-based program that distributes annual allocations to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units. Formula allocations are calculated using inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive applications. The Newton Housing Authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, maintain accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and submit annual Capital Fund certifications to maintain eligibility for continued federal support. All capital improvements must be obligated by March 31, 2030, with expenditures required to be completed by that same date.
