HUD has set aside a portion of the emergency and non-presidentially declared natural disaster set-aside for the purpose of providing assistance to public housing agencies (PHAS) to fund capital…

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Cabool Housing Authority Office $149,694 on August 3, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant program to fund capital needs for safety and security emergencies at public housing developments in Cabool, Missouri.

The award provides one-time assistance for safety and security capital items that address emergency needs within the same federal fiscal year the grant is requested and that could not be absorbed within the Authority's annual capital fund allocation. The maximum grant award under this set-aside is $250,000. Funding is allocated based on proposed cost estimates, the number of units identified in the proposal, and the description of the identified safety and security emergency. A PHA is ineligible to receive safety and security funding for the same development or developments for which it has previously received such funding.

The Public Housing Capital Fund supports capital and management activities, including modernization and development of public housing, with funds intended to serve low-income residents. PHAs maintain accurate inventory information in the Information Management System and submit annual certifications. The Authority must maintain budgets and cumulative cost records for HUD review and independent audit under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Period of performance runs from August 3, 2026, through August 2, 2028. Place of performance is Cabool, Missouri.
