Formula Grant MA01P03150126

The Somerville Housing Authority received a $1,957,827 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) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in the Winter Hill area of Somerville, Massachusetts, with eligible uses including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related management enhancements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905.

The Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant, with award amounts calculated annually by HUD based on characteristics of each Public Housing Agency's inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Somerville Housing Authority must obligate these funds consistent with an approved 5-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, and must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System. The funding will enable the Housing Authority to execute necessary capital improvements and management activities while complying with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with expenditures required by the March 31, 2030 completion date.
