Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Greer received a $609,453 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving the Authority's public housing inventory in Greer, South Carolina, which serves approximately 900 units and nearly 1,000 low-income households.

The Capital Fund allocation enables the Housing Authority to undertake eligible activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that enhance housing quality and operational viability. Specifically, funds may be directed toward routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, property management improvements, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses necessary for day-to-day operations. The award amount is determined through HUD's formula methodology based on the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through a competitive application process, and all expenditures must align with approved five-year action plans or receive HUD approval for emergency work or disaster-related activities as specified in 24 CFR Part 905.
