Summary of Federal Grant Award

The South Bend Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $3,089,819 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for the Authority's public housing portfolio, including modernization of existing housing units, development of new public housing inventory, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and associated financing activities such as debt service payments. The Capital Fund formula allocation is based on characteristics of the Authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process.

The South Bend Housing Authority administers these federal funds to serve low-income residents by maintaining and improving its public housing stock in South Bend, Indiana. As required by program regulations, the Authority must use capital funds exclusively for eligible activities described in 24 CFR 905.200, specified in its approved five-year action plan, or approved by HUD for emergency work. The Authority maintains compliance with the Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200) and submits annual certifications to HUD regarding its public housing inventory information maintained in the Information Management System/Public Housing Information Center system.
