Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $417,101.00 to the Kiamichi Housing Authority (Kecha) under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant program on April 1, 2026. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Tuskahoma, Oklahoma through March 31, 2030. As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund provides annual funding to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide to support modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, and management enhancements across nearly one million public housing units.

The Kiamichi Housing Authority will utilize these capital funds for eligible activities including public housing modernization, construction, rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, and other infrastructure improvements as specified in the agency's approved 5-year Action Plan or as approved by HUD for emergency repairs and disaster-related work. The Capital Fund allocation is calculated based on established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, eliminating the need for competitive applications. The funding supports the Housing Authority's direct administration of its public housing portfolio and must comply with Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200, with obligated funds required to be committed before the deadline and expenditures completed by the ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030.
