Public Housing Capital Fund Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Crisfield received a formula grant award of $1,086,837 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award provides capital funding to support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management activities for public housing units serving low-income residents in Crisfield, Maryland. The Capital Fund supports eligible activities including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, rehabilitation and modernization of existing units, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and financing activities related to public housing development.

As a formula-based allocation (rather than a competitive grant), the award amount is calculated annually by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Funds must be obligated within the specified timeframe and expended by the ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, in accordance with an approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. The Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual certifications to HUD's Information Management System to maintain funding eligibility.
