Formula Grant KY36P01950126

The Housing Authority of Middlesboro received a $1,652,724 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office 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 essential to maintaining affordable housing stock in Middlesboro, Kentucky, including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that add to or reconfigure public housing units within the authority's inventory.

The Capital Fund grant enables the Housing Authority of Middlesboro to undertake critical infrastructure and operational improvements that serve low-income residents, including elderly individuals, families with children, and persons with disabilities. Eligible activities funded through this award encompass property management, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, and resident supportive services. As a formula-based allocation program, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas that reflect the authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through a competitive application process, ensuring predictable funding for the approximately 1.6 million public housing residents served by PHAs nationwide.
