Formula Grant PA01P00450126

The Allentown Housing Authority received a $3.31 million formula grant award 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), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs serving the Allentown, Pennsylvania area. The Capital Fund enables the Authority to enhance its public housing inventory through eligible activities including construction, acquisition of additional units, rehabilitation of existing properties, management improvements, and financing-related costs for standard and mixed-finance developments.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant, with funding amounts calculated annually based on each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Under this award, the Allentown Housing Authority will utilize the capital funds to maintain safe, affordable housing and address deferred maintenance and infrastructure needs across its portfolio serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the Authority is required to maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and submit annual certifications documenting compliance with program requirements.
