Federal Grant Award Summary

The Alpena Housing Commission received a formula grant award of $483,582 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, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving the public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Alpena, Michigan. The funding is allocated annually through a formula-based methodology that accounts for agency-specific factors such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.

The Capital Fund award enables the Alpena Housing Commission to undertake modernization projects, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that add to or reconfigure public housing units within the agency's portfolio. Eligible uses also include financing activities, such as debt service payments and customary financing costs for mixed-finance developments. All activities must be documented in an approved 5-year action plan or obtain HUD approval for emergency work or disaster-related repairs. The recipient must maintain compliance with the Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200) and sustain accurate inventory records in HUD's Information Management System to support ongoing formula calculations and program oversight.
