Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Rock Hill received a $1,359,135 formula grant 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), awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, and emergency repairs to the city's public housing inventory. The Capital Fund also permits the use of funds for financing activities, including debt service payments and customary financing costs associated with standard and mixed-finance public housing developments. These activities serve the city's low-income residents through strategic investments in housing quality and operational efficiency.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program administered by HUD, distributing funds to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. Awards are calculated using established formulas reflecting each agency's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Rock Hill's funding must be utilized exclusively for eligible activities specified in an approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work, with all expenditures subject to compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and independent auditing requirements.
