Federal Grant Award Summary

The Waynesboro Housing Authority received a $159,267 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 funds capital and management activities supporting the Authority's public housing portfolio in Waynesboro, Mississippi, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency enhancements, and development activities that expand or reconfigure public housing units. The Capital Fund grant supports eligible activities specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters.

As a formula-based allocation (rather than a competitive grant), the award amount reflects the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Consistent with Public Housing Capital Fund program requirements, the Authority must utilize these funds exclusively for eligible capital activities as defined in 24 CFR 905.200, maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The four-year performance period aligns with the program's standard multi-year funding cycle for public housing modernization and capital improvements.
