Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The McDonough Housing Authority received a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant award of $343,563.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in McDonough, Georgia. Under this award, the Authority will undertake modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to its public housing units. The funds may also support development activities that add to or significantly reconfigure the Authority's public housing inventory, as well as financing activities including debt service payments and customary financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments, provided such activities are specified in the Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund award amount is calculated by HUD using established formulas based on the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. The Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. All Capital Fund expenditures are subject to HUD audit requirements and must align with eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905.
