Formula Grant MS26P01950126

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Mississippi Regional Housing Authority IV Division a formula grant of $1,284,704 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) on April 1, 2026. This award, which extends through March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving the authority's public housing portfolio. The funding is designated for eligible activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional public housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

As a Public Housing Agency (PHA) serving Columbus, Mississippi, the authority utilizes Capital Fund allocations exclusively for activities specified in its approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work and repairs related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters. The formula-based award reflects the authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. All expenditures must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200, and the authority must maintain detailed budgets and cumulative cost records for HUD and independent auditor review throughout the funding period.
