Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Housing Authority of County of Lawre received $431,043 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports critical capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Lawrence County, Illinois, including housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that enhance or expand the agency's public housing inventory.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund award provides financial assistance calculated according to HUD's established formula, which considers factors such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application processes. The funded activities must comply with eligible uses outlined in 24 CFR 905.200 and be specified in the agency's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work. The Housing Authority must maintain accurate public housing inventory data and comply with applicable federal requirements under 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards) throughout the performance period.
