Federal Grant Award Summary

The Metter Housing Authority received $373,682 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supports capital improvement activities for public housing operations serving low-income residents in Metter, Georgia. The Capital Fund provides financial assistance for modernization, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and development activities necessary to maintain safe and sanitary housing conditions across the authority's public housing inventory.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes funds to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units. The Metter Housing Authority's allocation reflects its specific inventory characteristics, including unit counts and facility age, rather than through competitive application processes. Capital funds may be deployed only for eligible activities outlined in 24 CFR 905.200 that are specified in the authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency work and natural disaster-related repairs. The authority is required to maintain accurate inventory data and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, including comprehensive financial documentation and periodic independent audits.
