Summary of Federal Grant Award

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $642,278 to the Ogle County Housing Authority under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872) on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This formula-based grant provides capital and management funding to support public housing improvements and modernization activities serving low-income residents in Oregon, Illinois. The Capital Fund allocation enables the housing authority to undertake eligible activities including public housing development, modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and related financing costs as specified in 24 CFR Part 905 and approved through the agency's five-year action plan.

As a direct recipient of this non-competitive formula grant, the Ogle County Housing Authority will utilize these funds to enhance its public housing portfolio through capital improvements and management activities that ensure compliance with federal safety and livability standards. The award reflects HUD's allocation methodology based on the housing authority's inventory characteristics such as unit counts and building age, rather than through competitive application. The funding obligation deadline is tied to this award period, with expenditure requirements extending through the ultimate completion date, consistent with HUD's standard Public Housing Capital Fund administration requirements under the Uniform Administrative Requirements codified in 2 CFR 200.
