Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Housing Authority of the City of Brownsville received a $283,555 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This award provides financial assistance to support capital and management activities at the housing authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Brownsville, Texas.

The funding may be applied toward eligible activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount was calculated according to established HUD formulas reflecting the housing authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The housing authority must utilize the Capital Fund resources in accordance with its HUD-approved five-year action plan, maintain detailed budget and cost records for audit purposes, and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements governing federal awards.
