Federal Grant Award Summary

The Battle Creek Housing Commission received a formula grant award of $267,386.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Battle Creek, Michigan, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to public housing units within the Commission's inventory.

The Capital Fund award enables the Battle Creek Housing Commission to perform physical improvements to housing structures, maintain housing units in decent and safe condition, implement security enhancements, and cover management expenses associated with administering public housing operations. As a formula-based allocation, the funding amount was calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the agency's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through a competitive application process. All expenditures must be designated in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work, with compliance required under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.
