Federal Grant Award Summary

The Jackson Housing Commission received a $1,493,435 formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing in Jackson, Michigan, through March 31, 2030. The Capital Fund formula allocation enables the Jackson Housing Commission to undertake modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to its public housing inventory, consistent with the program's statutory purpose of maintaining safe, decent, and sanitary housing for low-income residents.

Eligible activities supported by this award include public housing modernization, new development or significant reconfiguration of housing units, management improvements, emergency repairs, financing activities including debt service, and energy efficiency upgrades. The Jackson Housing Commission must allocate these funds only for activities specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, and all expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. As a formula-based allocation determined by characteristics of the housing agency's inventory (such as unit counts and building age), this award does not require competitive application; rather, the Commission maintains its eligibility through continuous certification of its public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
