Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Clayton received a $279,168 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 for public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in Clayton, Georgia. The funding enables the Housing Authority to undertake eligible activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and routine maintenance to ensure safe and sanitary living conditions for public housing residents.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program that distributes annual funding to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Award amounts are determined by formula calculations based on characteristics of each PHA's housing inventory, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Clayton Housing Authority must utilize these capital funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in its approved Five-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, and must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, including accurate inventory documentation and audit requirements.
