Formula Grant MA01P10950126

The Norwood Housing Authority received a $234,014 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 Norwood, Massachusetts. The Capital Fund enables the Housing Authority to carry out eligible activities including construction, acquisition, and modernization of public housing units, as well as management improvements and emergency repairs, with all activities specified in the authority's HUD-approved 5-year action plan.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes annual grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. The Norwood Housing Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for eligible activities defined in 24 CFR Part 905, maintain detailed budget and cost records for HUD review, and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The funding allows the authority to directly implement capital projects that enhance the safety, sanitary conditions, and long-term viability of its public housing portfolio without requiring a competitive application process.
