Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Housing Authority of the City of Baytown received a $300,312 formula grant 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) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities for public housing units located in Baytown, Texas, including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. The funding may also support debt service payments and financing costs associated with public housing developments, as permitted under the program guidelines.

The Public Housing Capital Fund allocates grants annually to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide using a formula-based approach, eliminating the need for competitive applications. Awards are calculated based on each agency's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Housing Authority of the City of Baytown must utilize these capital funds only for eligible activities specified in its approved 5-Year Action Plan or for emergency work, and must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200, maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and undergo regular audits in conjunction with its standard PHA operational audits.
