Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Allegheny County Housing Authority a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant totaling $8,162,086 effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for the Authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities throughout Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The award facilitates public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, and management enhancements to ensure safe and sanitary housing conditions for nearly one million public housing units nationwide administered by approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies.

Under this formula-based allocation, Allegheny County Housing Authority may deploy capital funds for eligible activities including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, property rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance developments, provided such activities are specified in the Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency work. The funding represents the Authority's annual allocation calculated according to HUD's established formula, which accounts for characteristics of the public housing inventory such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs.
