Federal Grant Award Summary

The Hillsdale Housing Commission received a $134,033 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 program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving the Commission's public housing inventory of approximately 1,000 units serving low-income residents in Hillsdale, Michigan. The Capital Fund allocation enables the Commission to undertake modernization and development activities, including construction, rehabilitation efforts, energy efficiency upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements as described in 24 CFR Part 905.

The funds must be applied exclusively to eligible activities specified in the Commission's approved 5-Year Action Plan or to emergency work and repairs necessitated by natural disasters. Formula grant allocations under this program are calculated annually based on characteristics of each Public Housing Agency's inventory, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Commission is required to maintain accurate inventory data, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual certifications to HUD's Information Management System documenting capital fund expenditures and cumulative cost records for audit purposes.
