Federal Grant Award Summary

The Horton Housing Authority received a $159,389 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 program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving the Horton, Kansas jurisdiction. Capital Fund grants are allocated to Public Housing Agencies through a formula-based calculation reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts and building age, rather than through competitive application processes.

The funding enables the Horton Housing Authority to finance eligible capital activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the agency's public housing inventory. Activities must align with the agency's HUD-approved five-year action plan or qualify for emergency work, and all expenditures must comply with eligible activities outlined in 24 CFR 905.200. As a direct grant recipient, the Horton Housing Authority maintains sole responsibility for administering these funds to ensure safe and sanitary affordable housing conditions for low-income residents within its jurisdiction.
