The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Tiverton Housing Authority $167,400 on September 18, 2025, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to address safety and security emergencies, including measures to combat crime and drug-related activity within public housing units.
The award funds one-time capital assistance for safety and security items that the housing authority cannot absorb within its annual capital grant. The funding applies to emergency safety and security needs occurring within the same federal fiscal year as the grant request. Tiverton Housing Authority, a Rhode Island municipal public housing agency, is the recipient and ultimate recipient of this formula grant.
The award obligated $167,400 with a period of performance from September 18, 2025, through September 17, 2027. Place of performance is Tiverton, Rhode Island. The assistance type is a formula grant, awarded through a lottery process because demand for emergency and disaster set-aside funding exceeds available resources. HUD permits one safety and security grant application per PHA each fiscal year, with a maximum award of $250,000. PHAs are ineligible to receive safety and security funding for the same development or developments for which they have previously received such funding.
