Federal Grant Award Summary

The Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA) received a $13,024,823 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) on April 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. This award supports critical capital and management activities for BMHA's public housing operations serving low-income residents in Buffalo, New York. The funding enables BMHA to undertake modernization projects, infrastructure improvements, development activities that add to or reconfigure public housing units, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades across its inventory.

The Capital Fund grant permits BMHA to utilize these resources for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan, including property improvements, financing activities such as debt service payments, and customary financing costs associated with public housing development. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount reflects BMHA's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. BMHA must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and ensure accurate documentation of all capital activities and cumulative costs for HUD and independent auditor review throughout the performance period.
