Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority City of West Plains received $880,112.00 in formula grant funding 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). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining the authority's public housing inventory in West Plains, Missouri. As a formula-based allocation, the funding is distributed according to established criteria reflecting the authority's public housing characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.

The Capital Fund grant enables the Housing Authority to carry out modernization, development, emergency repairs, infrastructure improvements, and energy efficiency upgrades to its public housing stock. Permissible uses include financing activities such as debt service payments and customary financing costs for mixed-finance developments. The authority must utilize these funds only for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency and disaster-related work, in compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The authority maintains detailed budget and cost records for review by HUD and independent auditors throughout the performance period.
