Formula Grant MA01P03750126

The Fitchburg Housing Authority received a $120,122 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 modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The grant enables the Housing Authority to address eligible capital activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905, including physical improvements to public housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related management improvements within its housing inventory.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics such as unit count, building age, and construction costs. The funding must be expended in accordance with HUD regulations, with eligible activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work. The Housing Authority maintains responsibility for budgeting, cost documentation, and compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with the Capital Fund award subject to standard HUD audit requirements in conjunction with the agency's broader operational audits.
