Summary

The Kenner Housing Authority received a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant award of $357,159.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for the authority's public housing portfolio in Kenner, Louisiana, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities that maintain and enhance public housing units serving low-income residents.

Under the Capital Fund program, the Kenner Housing Authority may allocate these funds toward eligible activities such as physical improvements to existing public housing stock, acquisition and construction of additional units, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency work, and financing costs related to public housing development. The authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount is calculated using established formulas reflecting the authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs.
