Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Town of Bristol Housing Authority received a $480,892 Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for the authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Bristol, Rhode Island. The Capital Fund award will be directed toward eligible activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and related management enhancements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905 and detailed in the authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan.

The grant enables the Town of Bristol Housing Authority to maintain and enhance its public housing units through modernization projects, facility improvements, and development activities that add to or reconfigure existing housing inventory. Like all Public Housing Capital Fund recipients, the authority must comply with 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, maintain accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and submit annual certifications documenting compliance with program requirements. The funding allocation was calculated using HUD's formula methodology based on characteristics of the authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts and building age, rather than through a competitive application process.
