Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Lake Providence received a $325,100 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), effective March 11, 2026, through March 10, 2028. This award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving public housing properties serving low-income residents in Lake Providence, Louisiana. The funding finances critical infrastructure upgrades, modernization efforts, energy efficiency improvements, and other capital maintenance necessary to ensure public housing units remain safe, sanitary, and in decent condition.

As a formula-based allocation determined by HUD's established methodology—which incorporates factors such as public housing inventory characteristics, building age, and unit counts—this award does not require competitive application. The Housing Authority will utilize these funds to deliver ongoing capital improvements and management activities across its public housing portfolio, subject to compliance with federal audit requirements and cost accounting standards. The grant supports the Authority's mission to provide affordable housing solutions and related services to vulnerable populations, including elderly residents and families with children, in its jurisdiction.
