The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Corrigan Housing Authority $188,832 on September 18, 2025, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to address capital needs for safety and security emergencies, including measures to combat crime and drug-related activity at the authority's public housing developments.
This award is one-time assistance for safety and security items that the authority could not absorb within its annual Capital Fund grant. The funding supports emergency safety and security needs identified at Corrigan Housing Authority's properties in Corrigan, Texas. The award carries a performance period through September 17, 2027. The assistance type is a formula grant, allocated to eligible public housing agencies based on unit inventory characteristics, building age, and construction costs rather than through a competitive application process. HUD made this award through a lottery distribution mechanism due to high demand for the limited Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster set-aside funds supporting this program nationwide. The maximum grant award amount under this program is $250,000, and each public housing agency is limited to one safety and security grant application per federal fiscal year. The safety or security emergency triggering this request must have occurred within the same federal fiscal year in which funding is being requested.
