Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Joliet received a $2,030,076 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. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, provides capital funding to support modernization, development, and management activities for the authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in the Joliet, Illinois area. The Capital Fund grant enables the authority to undertake eligible activities including infrastructure improvements, safety and security enhancements, energy efficiency upgrades, and other capital projects that maintain and expand the authority's inventory of public housing units.

As a formula-based grant allocation rather than a competitive award, the funding amount is calculated by HUD according to established formulas reflecting the authority's public housing inventory characteristics. The grant requires the authority to comply with applicable federal regulations under 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements) and obligate funds by the specified deadline, with expenditure requirements extending through the March 31, 2030 completion date. Capital funds may only be applied to activities specified in the authority's approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work, ensuring alignment with the program's purpose of supporting decent, safe, and affordable housing for vulnerable populations.
