Formula Grant MI28P00950126

The Flint Housing Commission received a $1,972,971 formula grant 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), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing operations in Flint, Michigan, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of public housing units. The Capital Fund also permits the use of these resources for financing activities, including debt service payments and customary financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments.

As a Public Housing Agency (PHA) serving nearly one million units nationwide across approximately 2,770 PHAs, the Flint Housing Commission uses Capital Fund allocations in accordance with its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan to deliver decent, safe, and affordable housing to low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. Eligible activities must be specified in the approved action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or work necessitated by natural disasters. The award represents the organization's annual formula-based allocation, calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the PHA's public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.
