Federal Grant Award Summary

River Rouge Housing Commission received a formula grant award of $1,228,904 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 Commission's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in the Detroit metropolitan area. Eligible uses of these funds include public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the Commission's public housing inventory.

As a direct prime grantee, River Rouge Housing Commission is responsible for administering and implementing all funded initiatives without identified sub-contractors or partners. The Capital Fund allocation is calculated using a formula-based methodology established by HUD, reflecting the Commission's public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. All activities must align with an approved 5-Year Action Plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work, and the Commission must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and accurately report inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
