Formula Grant MN46P07350126

The Cloquet Housing & Redev Authority received a $181,645 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, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in Cloquet, Minnesota. The funding enables the Authority to undertake eligible activities including public housing modernization, development of additional public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements as specified in the Authority's five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program in which funding amounts are calculated annually by HUD using established formulas reflecting each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Rather than a competitive application process, the Cloquet Housing & Redev Authority maintains eligibility through continuous certification of its public housing inventory information in HUD's Information Management System. The awarded funds must be obligated and expended in compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and are subject to HUD audit requirements in conjunction with the Authority's regular independent audit of operations.
