Summary: Public Housing Capital Fund Award to Minneapolis Housing Authority

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, awarded $175,281.00 to the Minneapolis Housing Authority under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant program. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, provides capital funding to support modernization, infrastructure improvements, and management activities for public housing units serving low-income residents in Minneapolis, Kansas. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the funding amount reflects the characteristics of the authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction cost indices.

Under this award, the Minneapolis Housing Authority will utilize capital funds for eligible activities including physical structure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, non-routine maintenance, and development activities designed to add or reconfigure public housing units. The authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System. Capital funds may only be applied to activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or disaster-related repairs, with obligation deadlines subject to extension if requested prior to expiration, though expenditure deadlines remain firm.
