Federal Grant Award Summary

The Massac County Housing Authority received $611,282 in formula-based funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872) on April 1, 2026. This award, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, supports critical capital and management activities for the authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Massac County, Illinois. The funding may be applied to eligible modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure maintenance activities as specified in the authority's approved 5-year action plan or for emergency work, consistent with 24 CFR Part 905.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program that distributes funds to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million housing units. The formula allocates funding based on characteristics of each PHA's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Massac County Housing Authority, as a direct recipient and administrator of these funds, is responsible for ensuring all capital activities maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing conditions and comply with applicable federal regulations, including 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.
