Formula Grant KS01P01050126

The Seneca Housing Authority received a $155,315 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 award supports capital and management activities for public housing, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements as defined under 24 CFR Part 905. The funding enables the authority to carry out eligible activities specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work, with particular emphasis on maintaining and improving the public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Seneca, Kansas.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program distributed to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million housing units across all 50 states and territories. The Seneca Housing Authority's award reflects its allocation calculated using established formulas based on characteristics of its public housing inventory, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. As with all Capital Fund recipients, the authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and obligate funds by the established deadline to support its ongoing mission of providing decent, safe, and sanitary housing for economically disadvantaged populations.
