Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Newberry received a $1,265,723 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving the authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Newberry, South Carolina. Eligible activities funded through this grant include modernization and infrastructure improvements to existing public housing units, development or acquisition of additional units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements necessary to ensure housing stock meets decent, safe, and sanitary standards.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund award amount reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than a competitive application process. The authority must obligate these funds in accordance with its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The award represents ongoing federal commitment to support the Housing Authority's operational capacity to serve vulnerable populations and maintain critical affordable housing infrastructure within the Newberry community.
