Summary of Federal Grant Award

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Public and Indian Housing Office, awarded $120,221.00 to the Scituate Housing Authority under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant program. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supports critical capital and management activities for public housing in Scituate, Massachusetts. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, this funding enables the Scituate Housing Authority to conduct modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities for its public housing inventory in compliance with 24 CFR Part 905 eligible activities criteria.

The Capital Fund allocation supports the housing authority's efforts to maintain and enhance public housing units serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. Authorized uses of the capital funds include physical infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, debt service payments for mixed-finance developments, and emergency repairs required for safety and security. The Scituate Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual certifications to retain funding eligibility under the program's ongoing formula allocation methodology.
