Formula Grant OK56P13950126

The Norman Housing Authority received a $505,656 formula grant 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), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving the Norman, Oklahoma community. The Capital Fund enables the Authority to conduct eligible activities including construction, acquisition, modernization, energy efficiency upgrades, code compliance work, and emergency repairs, as specified in an approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes annual grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Award amounts are calculated using established formulas reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Norman Housing Authority must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200) and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System to ensure proper stewardship of these federal funds dedicated to improving housing conditions for low-income residents.
