Federal Grant Award Summary

The Zanesville Metropolitan Housing Authority (ZMHA) received a $1,382,311 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. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements as specified in ZMHA's approved 5-year action plan. As a direct grantee administering this federal resource, ZMHA will utilize these capital funds to address eligible activities such as facility upgrades, energy efficiency projects, emergency repairs, and related infrastructure investments serving low-income residents in the Zanesville, Ohio community.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program wherein HUD calculates award amounts annually based on established formulas reflecting each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. No competitive application is required; rather, PHAs maintain their eligibility through continuous certification of public housing inventory information. ZMHA must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate budget and cost records for HUD review and independent audit in accordance with program requirements.
