Formula Grant GA01P16150126

The Harris County Housing Authority received $125,192 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 program (CFDA 14.872), with an award date of April 1, 2026, and a completion date of March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Columbus, Georgia, including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements as defined in 24 CFR Part 905.

The grant allocation is determined by a HUD formula based on characteristics of the housing authority's public housing inventory, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application. Eligible uses of the capital funds include development activities that add to or reconfigure public housing units, modernization of existing facilities, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments. As a formula grant recipient, the Harris County Housing Authority is required to maintain accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.
