Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Jasper Housing Authority $172,821 through the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant, effective April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities necessary to maintain and improve the authority's public housing inventory located in Jasper, Texas. The award enables the authority to undertake eligible activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of housing units, management improvements, and emergency repairs as specified in the approved 5-Year Action Plan or as approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program that distributes annual funding to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide serving nearly one million public housing units. Formula allocations are calculated based on characteristics of each agency's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive applications. The Jasper Housing Authority, operating as Myrtis Village, uses these capital funds to maintain housing quality and compliance with federal standards while serving low-income residents in its community. Like all Capital Fund recipients, the authority must maintain accurate inventory data, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual certifications to HUD's Information Management System.
