This funding supports capital and management activities essential to operating and maintaining public housing units serving approximately 1,000 low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Social Circle, Georgia area.

The grant funds eligible activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and facility upgrades. Additionally, the Capital Fund may support financing activities such as debt service payments and customary financing costs for public housing developments. The allocation is calculated using a formula-based approach that reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. All activities must comply with 24 CFR Part 905 and must be either specified in the Housing Authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.
