Federal Grant Award Summary

The East Baton Rouge Parish Housing Authority received a $2,664,522.00 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities essential to the operation and improvement of public housing units within the Authority's inventory, including modernization of existing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. The Capital Fund also supports financing activities such as debt service payments and customary financing costs for public housing development.

As a formula-based allocation program, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. The Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for eligible activities as described in 24 CFR 905.200 and specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or as approved by HUD for emergency work or work necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. The funding is intended to serve low-income residents and support the Authority's role as a key provider of public housing services in the East Baton Rouge Parish area.
