The Cass Lake Housing Authority received a $149,063 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), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for the Authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Cass Lake, Minnesota. The Capital Fund provides resources for modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to the Authority's public housing units.
As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund distributes annual funding to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide based on established formulas reflecting each agency's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Cass Lake Housing Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work, in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905 and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The Authority is required to maintain accurate inventory data and submit annual certifications to HUD's Information Management System/Public Housing Information Center system to maintain compliance and eligibility for continued funding allocations.
