Formula Grant HI08P00150126

The Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) received a $15.8 million 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 (CFDA 14.872) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital improvement activities for HPHA's public housing portfolio serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities across the Hawaiian islands. Eligible uses of capital funds include public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, management enhancements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund calculates awards annually using established formulas that reflect each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. HPHA must maintain accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, including maintaining detailed budgets and cumulative cost records for HUD and independent auditor review. The obligation deadline for these funds is subject to extension upon timely request; however, expenditure deadlines cannot be extended.
