Federal Grant Award Summary

The Waltham Housing Authority received a $801,222 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 funding supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Waltham, Massachusetts, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, security enhancements, and rehabilitation of housing units within the authority's inventory.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive award, these capital funds are distributed to the Waltham Housing Authority based on established formulas reflecting characteristics of its public housing inventory, such as unit counts and building age. The authority must utilize these funds exclusively for eligible activities as specified in 24 CFR Part 905, which may include activities outlined in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency or disaster-related work. All expenditures must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200 and maintain accurate inventory records in HUD's Information Management System.
