Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oxford Housing Authority received a $686,369 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 supports capital and management activities designed to improve public housing infrastructure and operations serving low-income residents in Oxford, Mississippi. As a formula-based allocation, the funding is calculated annually based on the characteristics of the Authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process.

The Capital Fund grant provides resources for key activities including public housing modernization, development, rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs. Eligible uses encompass facility improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, management enhancements, and debt service payments for public housing financing activities. The Authority must utilize funds only for activities specified in its 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work, and must maintain accurate inventory documentation and budgetary records in compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The award represents a continuation of the Authority's consistent participation in HUD's formula-based funding programs supporting the operational viability of its public housing portfolio.
