Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Lincoln received a $199,445 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities to modernize and develop public housing units within the authority's inventory, consistent with HUD's formula-based allocation methodology that distributes annual appropriations to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide.

The Capital Fund grant enables the Housing Authority of the City of Lincoln to execute eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905, including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, management enhancements, and development activities. Funds must be utilized for activities specified in the authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency work. As a formula grant rather than a competitive award, the funding allocation is calculated based on the authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, ensuring sustained federal support for maintaining safe and sanitary housing conditions for low-income residents in Lincolnton, Georgia.
