Formula Grant RQ00501004025D

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office provides a Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) Formula Grant to the Administration De Vivienda Publica, doing business as the Housing Administration, in Puerto Rico. This $953,933 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031, supports the day-to-day operations and maintenance of public housing projects across Puerto Rico.

The grant funding enables the Housing Administration to cover operational expenses such as property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative costs. These activities help the Housing Administration maintain and manage 902,436 low-income housing units serving 1,590,321 public housing residents, 44% of whom are elderly and 35% have children. The Puerto Rico Commonwealth government, including the Office of the Governor and the Puerto Rico Commission of Volunteerism and Community Service, also acts as a subrecipient to assist in implementing the public housing assistance across Puerto Rican communities using this HUD funding.
