Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Lafourche Inc. (Lafourche Parish Housing Authority) received a $875,058 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, management enhancements, and emergency repairs as specified in 24 CFR Part 905.

The formula-based allocation enables the Housing Authority to fund eligible activities outlined in an approved five-year action plan, which may encompass facility upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, construction and acquisition of additional housing units, and other capital improvements to maintain safe and sanitary living conditions. As a formula grant program serving approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units, the Public Housing Capital Fund allocates awards annually based on established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts and building age, rather than through competitive application processes. All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and be documented through HUD's Information Management System for audit purposes.
