Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Monroe County received $960,461 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for public housing improvements serving low-income residents in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The Capital Fund enables the Housing Authority to execute modernization initiatives, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities that enhance the quality and sustainability of its public housing inventory.

The funded activities align with eligible uses under 24 CFR Part 905, which include public housing development, modernization, management improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments. As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund grant amount was calculated by HUD based on the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application. The Housing Authority must obligate these funds in accordance with an approved five-year action plan and comply with Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200.
