Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of County of Edgar received a $603,099 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 award supports capital and management activities for public housing in Edgar County, Illinois, including modernization, development, rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements to public housing units serving low-income residents.

The Capital Fund formula grant enables the Housing Authority to execute eligible capital activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905 and specified in its five-year action plan, or as approved by HUD for emergency work and disaster-related repairs. Permissible uses of funds include public housing development and acquisition, modernization of existing units, management improvements, energy efficiency projects, and financing activities such as debt service payments. As a formula-based allocation program, the award amount was calculated by HUD based on the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through a competitive application process, with the Housing Authority required to maintain accurate inventory data and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and audit provisions throughout the performance period.
