Summary

The Housing Authority of Abilene, Texas received a $665,020 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 funding supports capital and management activities to modernize, develop, and improve public housing units serving low-income residents in Abilene, Texas. The grant may be applied toward eligible activities including infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, housing modernization projects, and development of additional public housing units in the Authority's inventory.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund award was calculated using established formulas reflecting the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process. The Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. All funded activities must be specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work or disaster-related repairs, with funds obligated by March 31, 2030.
