Federal Grant Award Summary

The Grand Rapids Housing Commission Inc. received a $550,185 formula grant award 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) program, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving the Commission's public housing inventory in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Capital Fund grant enables the Commission to undertake modernization projects, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities that enhance the quality and safety of public housing units serving low-income residents in the region.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, this award is calculated using established formulas reflecting the Commission's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Commission may utilize these funds for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or for emergency work and repairs necessitated by natural disasters, as permitted under 24 CFR Part 905. The grant requires compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and obligates the Commission to maintain accurate inventory data and submit annual certifications to HUD's Information Management System to substantiate ongoing eligibility and proper fund utilization.
