Formula Grant IN36P05850126

The Housing Authority of the City of Columbus Indiana received a $470,907 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) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing infrastructure, including modernization, development, rehabilitation, and related management improvements to the authority's public housing inventory.

The Capital Fund award enables the housing authority to finance eligible activities specified in its five-year action plan, such as construction and acquisition of public housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments. These capital improvements directly serve low-income residents in Columbus, Indiana, by maintaining and enhancing safe, sanitary housing stock. As a formula-based allocation calculated according to established criteria reflecting the authority's public housing inventory characteristics—including unit counts, building age, and construction costs—this award does not require competitive application but obligates the recipient to maintain accurate inventory certification and comply with federal administrative and audit requirements under 2 CFR 200.
