Federal Grant Award Summary

The Eastern Carolina Regional Housing Authority received a $2.74 million 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. The award supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities across eastern North Carolina. Eligible activities funded under this award include construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, modernization of existing units to meet federal safety and livability standards, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities including debt service payments for public housing developments.

As a Public Housing Agency (PHA), Eastern Carolina Regional Housing Authority administers the Capital Fund allocation through its five-year action plan for capital improvements to its public housing inventory. The formula-based grant allocation reflects characteristics of the agency's housing portfolio, including unit counts and building age, rather than competitive application. The funds must be obligated and expended in accordance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD regulations, with the agency maintaining accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System to ensure continued program compliance and accountability.
