Formula Grant GA01P16650126

The Claxton Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $632,361 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). The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, provides capital funding to support modernization, development, and management improvements to public housing units serving low-income residents in Claxton, Georgia. Eligible activities funded through this award include infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development or reconfiguration of public housing units within the authority's inventory.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant, with funding amounts calculated using established formulas reflecting each PHA's (Public Housing Agency's) inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. As a prime awardee, the Claxton Housing Authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System. The authority is required to obligate these funds according to an approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, with expenditures to be completed by the ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030.
