Formula Grant KS01P00250126

The City of Topeka, operating as The Topeka Housing Authority, received a $2,086,597 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 modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Topeka, Kansas. The Capital Fund enables the Housing Authority to execute critical projects including facility modernization, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional public housing units, and financing activities related to public housing operations.

The funding allocation is calculated through HUD's formula-based methodology, which reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Eligible activities must align with the Housing Authority's five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work or disaster-related repairs. As a formula grant recipient, the Topeka Housing Authority maintains compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, certifies annual inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and undergoes regular audits of Capital Fund activities in conjunction with its annual operations audit.
