Federal Grant Award Summary

The Town of Bar Harbor Housing Authority received a $391,491 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), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for the Authority's public housing portfolio, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities designed to maintain and enhance decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income residents in Bar Harbor, Maine.

The Capital Fund allocation enables the Housing Authority to execute eligible activities specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work, consistent with regulatory requirements under 24 CFR Part 905. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount is calculated using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts and building age. The Housing Authority administers all grant-funded activities directly without subcontractors and must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, including accurate inventory data maintenance in HUD's Information Management System and required annual certifications.
