Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Brewer, Maine received a formula grant award of $461,850 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 funds capital and management activities necessary to support the agency's public housing portfolio serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Brewer area.

The funding supports modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities within the housing authority's existing public housing inventory. Capital funds may be allocated toward construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, management improvements, and financing activities including debt service payments, provided such activities comply with eligible uses defined in 24 CFR Part 905 and are specified in the agency's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or disaster-related activities. The award amount was calculated using HUD's established formula methodology based on the characteristics of the public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process.
