Formula Grant OH12P02450126

The Chillicothe Metro Housing Authority received a $1,295,439 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 funding supports capital and management activities for the authority's public housing inventory, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, and other eligible capital projects as defined in 24 CFR Part 905. The award enables the housing authority to enhance and maintain decent, safe, and affordable housing units for low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities within its Chillicothe, Ohio service area.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, these funds are calculated by HUD using established formulas that reflect the authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The authority must utilize these capital funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan or for emergency and disaster-related work. The funding supports the authority's ability to address infrastructure modernization, energy efficiency initiatives, routine and preventative maintenance, and management improvements across its public housing portfolio.
