Federal Grant Award Summary

The Westwego Housing Authority Residents Council received a $775,434 formula grant 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), awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing in Westwego, Louisiana, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs. The funding enables the Housing Authority to enhance the quality and functionality of its public housing inventory while serving low-income residents.

Under the Public Housing Capital Fund program, the Westwego Housing Authority may utilize these federal funds for eligible activities specified in its approved five-year action plan or for emergency work and non-presidentially declared natural disaster recovery, as defined in 24 CFR 905.200. Primary activities include public housing development and modernization, management improvements, and infrastructure enhancements to support the Housing Authority's ongoing operations and capital needs. As a formula-based allocation program administered by HUD, the award amount reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than competitive selection, and the recipient must comply with Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200.
