Federal Grant Award Summary

The Ontonagon Village Housing Commission received a $143,827 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. As a Public Housing Agency (PHA) serving the Ontonagon, Michigan area, the organization will utilize these capital funds to support modernization, development, management improvements, and other eligible capital activities for its public housing inventory. Eligible activities funded through this award include construction, infrastructure upgrades, utility system improvements, emergency repairs, and related costs to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing conditions for low-income residents.

The Capital Fund allocation is calculated by HUD using a formula-based methodology that reflects the PHA's inventory characteristics, including unit count, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Funds must be expended in accordance with an approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work and may support physical improvements, financing activities including debt service payments, and customary development-related costs. The Ontonagon Village Housing Commission must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, with all expenditures required to be completed by the March 31, 2030 deadline.
