The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) awarded a $678,463 formula grant to the Columbia Housing Authority on January 1, 2025. The grant funds will support the operation and maintenance of the housing authority's public housing projects, which provide affordable rental housing to approximately 1,590,321 low-income residents in 902,436 households across the United States. Specifically, the grant will cover day-to-day operational expenses such as management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative costs. The grant aims to maintain high occupancy rates, improve resident quality of life, and promote fair housing practices in the public housing units managed by the Columbia Housing Authority. The activities to be performed under this multi-year grant, which runs through December 31, 2031, are expected to assist in funding the operating and maintenance expenses of the housing authority's public housing portfolio.
