Federal Grant Award Summary

The Hagerstown Housing Authority received a $3.165 million formula grant 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). The award, obligated on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development activities. Eligible uses of capital funds include construction and acquisition of additional housing units, significant reconfiguration of existing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

The Capital Fund allocation supports the Hagerstown Housing Authority's primary mission of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing to low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Hagerstown, Maryland community. All capital activities must either be specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work or work necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. The formula-based funding calculation reflects the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, and all expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and be substantiated through maintained budget and cost records subject to HUD and independent auditor review.
