Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Orange Housing Authority received a Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant of $516,285 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, effective April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This award supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining and improving public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in Orange, Texas. The Capital Fund enables the Housing Authority to undertake modernization, development, rehabilitation, and related infrastructure improvements to its public housing inventory, as well as financing activities including debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

The specific products and services delivered through this funding include physical improvements to public housing units and facilities, construction and rehabilitation work, energy efficiency upgrades, and related management enhancements consistent with the Housing Authority's five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction cost factors. All activities must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and be limited to eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR 905.200.
