Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Greene County received a formula grant award of $149,632 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's 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 serving low-income residents in Greene County, Illinois. The Capital Fund enables the housing authority to conduct modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to its public housing inventory, as well as management enhancements and other eligible activities specified in the agency's approved 5-Year Action Plan.

Under this award, the Housing Authority of Greene County utilizes the capital funds for essential services including property modernization, facility maintenance, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and security improvements to ensure that public housing units remain decent, safe, and compliant with federal housing standards. The formula-based allocation is calculated annually by HUD using characteristics of the housing authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. The housing authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with applicable federal financial management requirements throughout the performance period.
