Summary: Public Housing Capital Fund Award to Ulysses Housing Authority

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Ulysses Housing Authority a formula grant of $118,747.00 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in Ulysses, Kansas. The Capital Fund formula grant enables the Housing Authority to conduct modernization, development, equipment acquisition, and other infrastructure improvements to its public housing inventory, as specified in eligible activities under 24 CFR Part 905. Funds may be obligated for activities outlined in the Housing Authority's approved 5-year action plan or for emergency repairs and disaster recovery work approved by HUD.

As a public housing agency, the Ulysses Housing Authority administers federal housing programs designed to provide affordable housing solutions to low-income residents in its service area. The Capital Fund allocation is calculated using HUD's established formula methodology, which reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. The Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and budget cumulative cost records for HUD and independent auditor review throughout the performance period.
