Federal Grant Award Summary

The El Paso County Housing Authority received a $214,100 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 (CFDA 14.872) program, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in the Fabens, Texas area. The funding may be applied to eligible activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related management improvements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount was calculated by HUD using established criteria reflecting the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The funds must be utilized for activities either specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work, with performance periods typically spanning multiple years. The Housing Authority is required to maintain accurate inventory data and budgetary records in compliance with 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements) and HUD's Information Management System, with all obligations due by the specified deadline and expenditures completed by March 31, 2030.
