Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Pope County received a $320,335 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing in Pope County, Illinois, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and development or acquisition of public housing units. The Capital Fund award enables the housing authority to maintain and enhance its public housing inventory in compliance with 24 CFR Part 905 eligible activities, which may include routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, and management improvements.

As a formula-based allocation program, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas that reflect the housing authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. The housing authority directly implements these federally funded activities without engaging prime contractors or subcontractors, maintaining accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and adhering to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. All activities must be specified in the housing authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or disaster-related repairs.
