Formula Grant TX01P04450126

The Jefferson Housing Authority received a $145,199 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements. As a Public Housing Agency (PHA) serving low-income residents in Jefferson, Texas, the authority will utilize these funds for eligible activities including housing modernization, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and related management activities as specified in 24 CFR Part 905 and the agency's approved five-year action plan.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program rather than a competitive grant, with HUD calculating annual awards based on established formulas reflecting each PHA's public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Jefferson Housing Authority, managing public housing units for vulnerable populations including elderly residents and families with children, must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System. This award represents continued federal support for sustaining and improving affordable housing stock and services for low-income residents.
