Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of New Orleans received a $6,073,513 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) program, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities essential to modernizing and maintaining public housing inventory serving low-income residents in the New Orleans metropolitan area. Eligible uses of these funds include public housing development, modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments, all as defined under 24 CFR Part 905.

The Housing Authority of New Orleans will implement these capital improvements according to its HUD-approved five-year action plan or for emergency work and repairs necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. As a formula-based allocation, this award reflects the agency's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and manage budgets and cumulative cost records for HUD and independent auditor review throughout the performance period.
