Formula Grant RI01E00250126

The Housing Authority of the City of Pawtucket, Rhode Island received a $2,045,426 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872) on March 11, 2026. This two-year award, with an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2028, provides capital funding to support modernization, infrastructure improvements, and maintenance activities for the Housing Authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Pawtucket.

The Capital Fund grant enables the Housing Authority to undertake critical capital and management activities including facility modernization, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and infrastructure upgrades necessary to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing. As a formula-based allocation program, the award amount was calculated by HUD according to established formulas reflecting the characteristics of the Housing Authority's public housing inventory rather than through a competitive application process. The funding supports the Housing Authority's mission of providing affordable housing and maintaining the physical condition of public housing units across its portfolio.
