The Capital Fund formula grant supports capital and management activities to modernize, develop, and maintain public housing units serving low-income residents in LaFollette, Tennessee. Eligible uses of these funds include housing modernization and infrastructure improvements, development activities that expand or reconfigure the public housing inventory, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

The formula-based allocation reflects the agency's inventory characteristics, including unit count, building age, and construction costs. All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the agency must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System while submitting annual certifications to support ongoing program compliance and audit requirements.
