The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Housing Authority of Catlettsburg, doing business as Grandview Manor, $350,201 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) on April 1, 2026.

The award funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and other eligible capital activities as described in 24 CFR Part 905. Eligible activities include those specified in the recipient's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or work needed because of a non-presidentially declared natural disaster. Development activities add to or significantly reconfigure public housing units in the authority's inventory, including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units. Modernization activities improve existing public housing infrastructure and conditions.

The recipient is a local government entity and public housing authority based in Catlettsburg, Kentucky, operating as a direct recipient of HUD public housing formula grants with fiduciary responsibility for fund administration and compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. Performance occurs in Catlettsburg, Kentucky, serving the authority's public housing portfolio.

The award period runs from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. Obligation deadlines can be extended if extension requests are received before the deadline expires; expenditure deadlines cannot be extended. The Capital Fund formula grant is allocated annually in accordance with HUD's formula calculation based largely on characteristics of the public housing inventory, with no application required.

Activities

The phas receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of housing and urban development (HUD) to administer the public housing fund. Public housing capital funds may only be used for activities that are described as eligible activities in 24 CFR 905.200 and are either specified in an approved 5-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or work needed because of a non-presidentially declared natural disaster. Public housing development, modernization, and financing are the major activities to be performed. Development is activities and related costs that add to (or significantly reconfigure) public housing units in a PHA's inventory, including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, with or without rehabilitation, and any-and-all undertakings necessary for planning, design, financing, land acquisition, demolition, construction, or equipment of public housing units, and related buildings, facilities, and/or appurtenances (i.e., non-dwelling facilities/spaces). Development also includes any mixed-finance modernization, all relevant modernization uses (other than management improvements), financing uses, and development of non-dwelling space where such space is needed to administer, and is of direct benefit to a public housing project (i.e. housing developed, acquired, or assisted by a PHA under the 1937 act, and the improvement of any such housing), including the residents. Financing debt and financing costs (e.g., origination fees, interest) incurred by a PHA for development or modernization of public housing projects, including mixed-finance development, the capital fund financing program (CFFP), and any other use authorized under section 30 of the 1937 act. Modernization includes all eligible activities except for development and financing. Physical work is a major activity and is work that is done on the physical structures, site, and grounds of a public housing property or structure. Major physical activities include demolition, reconfiguration, emergency activities, energy efficiency, non-routine maintenance, planned code compliance, and vacancy reduction. The measurable outcome of this grant is that HUD will be able to track the amount of dollars spent on improvements to the structures, units, common areas, utilities, and other eligible activities.
