Summary

The Parsons Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $305,639.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for the authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Parsons, Kansas. Eligible uses of the capital funds include modernization and development of housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, management improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments on standard and mixed-finance developments.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Parsons Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The authority must utilize the funds only for activities specified in its approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, in compliance with the eligible activities outlined in 24 CFR 905.200. Performance of these capital and modernization activities will maintain and enhance the authority's affordable housing infrastructure and operational capacity throughout the four-year performance period.
