Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Edwards County Housing Authority $129,030 in Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant funding effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining the Authority's public housing portfolio, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of public housing units. As a formula-based allocation determined by established criteria reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics—including unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than through competitive application, this funding enables the Authority to implement planned capital improvements outlined in its five-year action plan or address approved emergency and disaster-related repairs.

The Capital Fund grant allows Edwards County Housing Authority to carry out eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905, with particular focus on public housing modernization, development, and financing activities including debt service payments and customary financing costs. The Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and obtain HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work outside the approved action plan. All capital funds obligated under this award must be expended by the ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, as expenditure deadline extensions are not permitted.
