Federal Grant Award Summary

The Medford Housing Authority received a $2,162,862 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) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Medford, Massachusetts, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs to public housing units.

The Capital Fund formula grant enables the Medford Housing Authority to execute eligible activities specified in its approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work projects. Permissible uses of funds include construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, significant reconfiguration of existing units, routine and preventative maintenance, energy efficiency upgrades, debt service payments, and customary financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments. As a formula-based allocation determined by HUD using inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, this award does not require competitive application but mandates compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintenance of accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
