Formula Grant KS01P07250126

The Liberal Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $153,659 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 public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Liberal, Kansas. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas that reflect the authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

The Capital Fund grant enables the Liberal Housing Authority to execute eligible capital activities as specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or as approved by HUD for emergency repairs and work related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters. Permissible uses include modernization and development of public housing units, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and budget and track cumulative costs for HUD and independent auditor review throughout the performance period.
