Federal Grant Award Summary

The Public Housing Agency of South Hutchinson received a $346,420 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. The funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in South Hutchinson, Kansas. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the agency's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

The Capital Fund award enables the Public Housing Agency to undertake eligible activities including physical infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development or acquisition of additional public housing units, as specified in the agency's approved 5-Year Action Plan. These activities support the agency's mission of ensuring decent, safe, and sanitary living conditions for low-income residents. The agency must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System. All obligated funds must be expended by the March 31, 2030 completion date, with obligation deadlines subject to extension requests if submitted prior to the deadline expiration.
