Formula Grant KS01P01750126

The Atchison Housing Authority received a $539,279 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), 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 Atchison, Kansas. The Capital Fund grant enables eligible activities including emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, construction and acquisition of public housing units, and financing costs associated with public housing developments, all of which must align with the recipient's approved five-year action plan or be approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes annual awards to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide managing nearly one million housing units across all 50 states and territories. The Atchison Housing Authority's award is calculated using established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The recipient must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual Capital Fund certifications to maintain eligibility for continued funding.
