Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $178.3 million in formula grant funding under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to the Administration De Vivienda Publica (Puerto Rico's housing authority) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This Capital Fund allocation supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents throughout Puerto Rico.

The grant funds eligible capital activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional public housing units. The award also permits financing activities such as debt service payments and customary financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments. As a formula grant, the allocation is calculated annually by HUD based on established formulas reflecting the awardee's public housing inventory characteristics—including unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than through competitive application processes. The Administration De Vivienda Publica must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System to retain eligibility for continued annual funding under this program.
