Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Aberdeen received a $325,834 formula grant 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) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. The Capital Fund provides annual allocations to Public Housing Agencies nationwide to support capital and management activities serving low-income residents. Under this award, the Housing Authority of Aberdeen will utilize funds for public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related management improvements as outlined in the agency's approved 5-Year Action Plan.

The funds support essential capital activities to maintain and enhance the Housing Authority of Aberdeen's public housing inventory, which serves approximately 1,000 units benefiting low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Aberdeen, Mississippi area. Eligible activities include construction, acquisition, and reconfiguration of public housing units, as well as financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance developments. As a formula-based allocation program, awards are calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.
