Formula Grant OR16P02250126

The Housing Authority of Washington County received $1,061,402 in formula grant funding 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) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for the authority's public housing portfolio, including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements. The Capital Fund allocation is distributed through a formula-based methodology that reflects inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application processes.

The funded activities enable the Housing Authority of Washington County to maintain and improve its public housing stock serving low-income residents, the elderly, and persons with disabilities in Washington County. Permissible uses of these capital funds include physical improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional housing units, and financing activities such as debt service payments. The authority must allocate these funds in accordance with its approved five-year action plan and comply with applicable federal regulations, including maintaining accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and adhering to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.
