Formula Grant PA28P01850126

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Westmoreland County Housing Authority a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant of $4,876,399 effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. Under this award, the Housing Authority will fund capital and management activities to modernize, develop, and improve public housing infrastructure and operations across its 45 public housing communities serving low-income residents, seniors, and individuals with disabilities throughout Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Eligible activities include physical modernization of existing units, development and acquisition of new public housing units, management improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and financing activities such as debt service payments.

The Public Housing Capital Fund is a formula-based allocation program administered annually by HUD to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units. Award amounts are calculated using established formulas based on public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Westmoreland County Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with federal requirements under 2 CFR 200, including annual capital fund certifications and audit requirements, with obligation deadlines by March 31, 2030, and expenditure deadlines on the ultimate completion date.
