Formula Grant KS01P01550126

The North Newton Housing Authority (doing business as Wheatland Homes) received a $110,245.00 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 including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to the Authority's affordable housing inventory serving low-income residents in North Newton, Kansas.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program that distributes annual funding to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Award amounts are calculated using established formulas reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. As a prime awardee, North Newton Housing Authority must utilize these capital funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work, and must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
