Federal Grant Award Summary

The Waterville Housing Authority received a $758,719 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) program, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities to improve public housing infrastructure and operations serving low-income residents in Waterville, Maine. The funding may be allocated toward eligible activities including modernization, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, development of additional public housing units, and management improvements as specified in the authority's approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program that annually distributes funds to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million housing units across all 50 states and territories. Awards are calculated using established formulas reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive solicitation. The Waterville Housing Authority administers these capital funds directly without sub-awardee partners, maintaining compliance with the Uniform Administrative Requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200 and HUD's Information Management System inventory certification requirements.
