Formula Grant TX59P06550126

The Housing Authority City of Harlingen received a $1,717,483 formula grant award 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 funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements serving the Harlingen, Texas community. The award enables the Housing Authority to conduct eligible activities including physical modernization of existing units, development or acquisition of additional public housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities related to public housing operations.

As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive grant, the award amount was calculated using HUD's established formula that reflects the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Housing Authority must utilize these capital funds exclusively for activities specified in its HUD-approved 5-year action plan or for emergency work and repairs related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters. All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with the Housing Authority maintaining detailed budgets and cost records for HUD and independent auditor review throughout the four-year performance period.
