Federal Grant Award Summary

The Colquitt Housing Authority received a $279,090 formula grant award 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), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award funds capital and management activities to support the Authority's public housing operations serving low-income residents in Colquitt, Georgia. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the funding amount was calculated using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

The Capital Funds are designated for eligible activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that add to or significantly reconfigure the Authority's public housing unit inventory. Additionally, the funds may support financing activities, including debt service payments and customary financing costs for public housing developments. All expenditures must align with an approved 5-Year Action Plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work or repairs necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters, and activities must comply with eligible activities outlined in 24 CFR 905.200.
