The Lawrence Housing Authority received $1,244,787 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office through the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) award dated April 1, 2026. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing serving the Lawrence-Douglas County area, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. The award enables the authority to finance modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities that expand or reconfigure public housing units, and management improvements to its public housing inventory in accordance with approved five-year action plans or HUD-approved emergency work.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program where funding amounts are calculated annually based on each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Lawrence Housing Authority, which manages public housing units serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities, must obligate these capital funds exclusively for eligible activities defined in 24 CFR 905.200 and maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The funding may also support financing activities including debt service payments and customary financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments serving the low-income population.
