Summary

The White County Housing Authority received a $299,793 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) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities to improve and maintain public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in White County, Illinois. Eligible uses of these funds include public housing modernization, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, routine and preventative maintenance, and administrative expenses—all activities designed to ensure safe, decent, and affordable housing for vulnerable populations including elderly residents and families with children.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant process, with HUD calculating awards annually based on established formulas reflecting each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. As a formula grant recipient, the White County Housing Authority must maintain accurate public housing inventory information in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The funding obligation deadline is March 31, 2030, with all expenditures required to be completed by this date.
