The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $160,992 in Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant assistance to Glenwood Housing Authority of the City of Glenwood on April 1, 2026, under CFDA 14.872. The award period runs through March 31, 2030.

The recipient delivers capital and management activities in Glenwood, Georgia, including public housing modernization, development, financing, and emergency repairs as eligible under 24 CFR Part 905. Activities must align with the Authority's approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work. The Public Housing Capital Fund serves low-income residents through capital improvements to public housing inventory.

Glenwood Housing Authority operates as a local government housing authority entity in Glenwood and receives funding exclusively through HUD formula grants under this program. No sub-recipients are involved in this award. The Authority maintains compliance under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and certifies its public housing inventory annually in HUD's Information Management System.

Activities

The phas receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of housing and urban development (HUD) to administer the public housing fund. Public housing capital funds may only be used for activities that are described as eligible activities in 24 CFR 905.200 and are either specified in an approved 5-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or work needed because of a non-presidentially declared natural disaster. Public housing development, modernization, and financing are the major activities to be performed. Development is activities and related costs that add to (or significantly reconfigure) public housing units in a PHA's inventory, including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, with or without rehabilitation, and any-and-all undertakings necessary for planning, design, financing, land acquisition, demolition, construction, or equipment of public housing units, and related buildings, facilities, and/or appurtenances (i.e., non-dwelling facilities/spaces). Development also includes any mixed-finance modernization, all relevant modernization uses (other than management improvements), financing uses, and development of non-dwelling space where such space is needed to administer, and is of direct benefit to a public housing project (i.e. housing developed, acquired, or assisted by a PHA under the 1937 act, and the improvement of any such housing), including the residents. Financing debt and financing costs (e.g., origination fees, interest) incurred by a PHA for development or modernization of public housing projects, including mixed-finance development, the capital fund financing program (CFFP), and any other use authorized under section 30 of the 1937 act. Modernization includes all eligible activities except for development and financing. Physical work is a major activity and is work that is done on the physical structures, site, and grounds of a public housing property or structure. Major physical activities include demolition, reconfiguration, emergency activities, energy efficiency, non-routine maintenance, planned code compliance, and vacancy reduction. The measurable outcome of this grant is that HUD will be able to track the amount of dollars spent on improvements to the structures, units, common areas, utilities, and other eligible activities.

Expected outcomes

The expected outcomes for public housing capital funds of approximately $3.2 billion will be put into the development, modernization, and financing of nearly 1 million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. The public housing units are updated to be decent, safe, sanitary and to comply with federal housing standards. Phas can also use a portion of the capital funding for management improvements or operating activities including safety and security costs.
