Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Waco, Texas received a $2,258,088 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, funds capital and management activities to support public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and energy efficiency upgrades serving low-income residents in Waco, Texas.

The Capital Fund grant enables the Housing Authority to execute eligible activities specified in its approved 5-year action plan, including modernization of existing public housing units, development or acquisition of additional housing units, infrastructure enhancements, and emergency repairs. As a formula-based allocation distributed by HUD to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units, the award is calculated according to established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application. The Housing Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements throughout the performance period.
