Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Southwest City received a $141,606 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 funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income residents in Southwest City, Missouri. The Capital Fund allocation is calculated using a formula-based methodology reflecting the housing authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.

Eligible uses of these capital funds include public housing development and modernization activities, facility upgrades, management improvements, emergency repairs, and financing activities such as debt service payments for mixed-finance developments. The housing authority must obligate and expend funds in accordance with its HUD-approved five-year action plan and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. As a formula grant recipient, the Southwest City Housing Authority maintains continuous eligibility through certification of its public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System without requiring submission of competitive applications for each funding cycle.
