Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Effingham County Housing Authority received a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant award of $298,058.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, effective April 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing in Effingham, Illinois, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related financing costs for the Authority's affordable housing portfolio serving low-income residents.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive award, this grant is calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency and disaster-related work, and must maintain compliance with federal administrative requirements and accurate inventory records in HUD's Information Management System throughout the four-year performance period.
