The Housing Authority of Union SC received a $1,090,775 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 (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities to improve the authority's public housing inventory through modernization, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency enhancements, and development of additional public housing units. The Capital Fund allocation is calculated using a HUD formula based on the authority's existing public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, and may also support financing activities including debt service payments and customary financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments.

The funding enables the Housing Authority of Union SC to fulfill its statutory obligations under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and ensure the provision of quality, safe, and sanitary housing to low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in Union County. Capital Fund activities must be specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or disaster-related repairs, and expenditures are limited to eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905. All funds must be obligated by the performance period's end date, with compliance required under the Uniform Administrative Requirements outlined in 2 CFR Part 200.
