Federal Grant Award Summary

The Low Rent Housing Agency of Burlington received $487,441 in formula grant funding 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) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Burlington, Iowa.

The funding will be allocated toward eligible capital activities including modernization of existing public housing units, construction and acquisition of additional housing inventory, rehabilitation of structures, land acquisition, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements. All expenditures must comply with 24 CFR Part 905 and align with either the agency's approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. The Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant is distributed annually to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units, with allocations calculated based on each agency's inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application processes.
