Federal Grant Award Summary

The Auburn Housing Authority received a $267,283 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) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports critical capital and management activities necessary to maintain and improve public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in Auburn, Massachusetts.

The funds will be allocated toward eligible capital activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and management enhancements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905. The Capital Fund operates as an annually distributed formula-based allocation program, with award amounts calculated according to established formulas reflecting each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Auburn Housing Authority, like approximately 2,770 PHAs nationwide managing nearly one million housing units, must ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System while utilizing these funds exclusively for HUD-approved activities outlined in their 5-year action plan or approved emergency work.
