Federal Grant Award Summary

The Sterling Housing Authority received a $116,031 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 at Sterling Housing Authority's Jefferson Plaza property in Sterling, Kansas, including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and routine maintenance activities. The Capital Fund formula allocation is calculated based on Sterling Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts and building age, rather than through a competitive application process.

The funding enables Sterling Housing Authority to maintain and improve its affordable housing units serving low-income residents in its service area, consistent with the broader Capital Fund program's mission of supporting approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide that manage nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. All activities funded under this award must comply with eligible activities specified in 24 CFR 905.200 and either be included in the authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work. The award requires Sterling Housing Authority to maintain accurate budget records, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and undergo regular audits in conjunction with HUD oversight.
