Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Housing Authority of the County of Williamson received a $2,431,636 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 program (CFDA 14.872), effective 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 Williamson County, Illinois. The funding will be allocated to eligible activities including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, modernization of existing housing stock, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and debt service payments related to public housing developments, as specified in the PHA's approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

As a formula-based allocation calculated by HUD using data on the PHA's public housing inventory characteristics—such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs—this award requires no competitive application process. The Housing Authority administers these funds directly as a prime grantee and must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, document all capital activities and cumulative costs for HUD review, and certify its public housing inventory information in HUD's Information Management System.
