Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Shrewsbury Housing Authority received a $236,400 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 the Authority's public housing portfolio, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, energy efficiency upgrades, and facility maintenance to ensure public housing units meet federal standards for safety, sanitation, and livability.

Capital Fund resources are deployed according to the Authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan and may address emergency repairs or work necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. Eligible activities encompass construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, and management improvements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905. As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund calculates awards annually based on PHA inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Authority must maintain accurate public housing inventory data and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with obligation deadlines extendable upon request, though expenditure deadlines remain fixed.
