Federal Grant Award Summary

The Taunton Housing Authority received a $1,172,427 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 (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports critical capital and management activities for the authority's public housing portfolio, including modernization of existing units, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the agency's public housing inventory.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, these funds enable the Taunton Housing Authority to execute its approved 5-Year Action Plan for capital improvements serving low-income residents in Taunton, Massachusetts. Eligible uses include construction, acquisition, financing activities such as debt service payments, and management improvements across the agency's public housing units. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with all activities requiring either inclusion in the approved capital plan or HUD approval for emergency work and disaster-related repairs.
