The Housing Authority of the City of Vidalia received a formula grant award of $354,924 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 award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining safe and sanitary public housing stock in Vidalia, Georgia, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, development activities, and energy efficiency upgrades to the Authority's public housing inventory.
The Public Housing Capital Fund operates on a formula-based allocation methodology rather than competitive application processes, calculating awards according to established formulas reflecting characteristics of each Public Housing Agency's inventory, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Capital Fund resources may only be applied to eligible activities specified in an approved 5-year action plan or for emergency work and disaster-related repairs. The Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200, with all expenditures subject to HUD audit requirements.
