Formula Grant OK00200201826D

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office administers the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), a $5 billion formula grant program that provides operating subsidies to approximately 6,000 housing authorities across the United States. This grant award of $431,269 was provided to the Oklahoma City Housing Authority to fund the day-to-day operating and maintenance expenses of their public housing dwellings, which serve 1,590,321 residents in 902,436 households nationwide. The funding supports critical activities such as property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses to ensure the provision of decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. Additionally, the Oklahoma City Housing Authority has leveraged sub-awards from entities like the City of Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to enhance its housing and supportive services offerings.
