Summary

The Municipal Housing Agency of the City of Fort Dodge received $388,453 in federal funding through the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for the agency's public housing portfolio in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Eligible uses of these funds include modernization and development of public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for public housing developments.

As a formula-based grant program serving approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide, the Capital Fund allocation to Fort Dodge Housing Agency is calculated based on established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application. The agency must utilize these funds exclusively for activities specified in an approved 5-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, with all expenditures subject to compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and audit requirements.
