Federal Grant Award Summary

The Jo Daviess County Housing Authority received a $261,176 formula grant award 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 modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities throughout Jo Daviess County, Illinois.

The Capital Fund allocation enables the Housing Authority to conduct eligible activities including modernization of existing public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the agency's housing inventory. Additionally, the funds may support financing activities and customary costs associated with public housing developments. As a formula-based allocation program, the award amount was calculated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development based on established formulas reflecting the Housing Authority's inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. All fund expenditures must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200) and be directed toward eligible activities specified in the Housing Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.
