Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

Columbiana Metro Housing, a public housing authority serving East Liverpool, Ohio, received a $1,588,150 Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. Under this formula-based grant, the authority will undertake capital and management activities to modernize and maintain its public housing inventory, including infrastructure improvements, facility development, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. The funding supports the authority's efforts to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing to low-income residents, elderly individuals, and families within its service area.

The Capital Fund allocation is determined by HUD's formula methodology, which accounts for characteristics of the authority's public housing inventory such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application. All expenditures must comply with 24 CFR Part 905 and align with either the authority's approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. The award represents a continuation of the authority's participation in this annual formula grant program and reinforces its role as a consistent federal grantee providing essential housing infrastructure and services to its community.
