Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Henry County received a $1,258,723 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 and management activities for public housing, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments. The formula-based allocation reflects the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, and may be used only for eligible activities specified in an approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency or disaster-related work.

The Capital Fund program serves approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. As a formula grant program, awards are calculated and announced by HUD within 60 days of annual appropriation enactment rather than through competitive application processes. Recipients must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and may request appeals or obligation deadline extensions if they believe HUD made errors in calculating the formula allocation.
