Formula Grant ND01P00150126

The Housing Authority of Cass County received a $275,165 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 for public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in West Fargo, North Dakota. Eligible uses of these funds include public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and financing activities such as debt service payments for public housing developments.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the funding amount reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The authority must utilize these funds exclusively for activities specified in its HUD-approved five-year action plan or for emergency work and disaster-related repairs, in compliance with applicable federal regulations under 24 CFR Part 905 and the Housing Act of 1937. All expenditures must be completed by the ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, and the authority remains subject to federal audit requirements under 2 CFR 200 and HUD oversight provisions.
