Federal Grant Award Summary

The Eagle Pass Housing Authority received a $1.57M 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) effective April 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2030. This award supports critical capital and management activities for public housing operations serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in Eagle Pass, Texas.

The funding enables the Housing Authority to undertake public housing modernization, development, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and emergency repairs to maintain safe and decent housing conditions. Eligible activities under the Capital Fund include physical improvements to existing public housing units, acquisition and construction of additional units, financing activities including debt service payments, and management improvements. Award amounts are calculated using HUD's formula methodology based on inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes, ensuring predictable annual funding for the approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories.
