Formula Grant OH12P01250126

The Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority (LMHA) received a $4.82 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 program (CFDA 14.872). This award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, provides funding to support capital improvements, modernization, and development activities for LMHA's public housing inventory serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Lorain, Ohio area.

The Capital Fund grant supports eligible activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional housing units, and management improvements to LMHA's portfolio. LMHA must allocate these funds according to its approved 5-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, with all expenditures subject to compliance with federal regulations including 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and audit requirements. The formula-based allocation reflects LMHA's public housing inventory characteristics and provides critical resources to maintain and enhance the quality and safety of public housing units throughout the Lorain community.
