Federal Grant Award Summary

The Pharr Housing Authority received a $596,536 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 (CFDA 14.872), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This funding supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development of affordable housing units serving low-income residents in Pharr, Texas. The award is allocated through a formula-based calculation methodology that reflects the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through a competitive application process.

Eligible uses of these capital funds include modernization and development activities, management improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments. All funds must be expended in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905 and either specified in an approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work. The Authority is required to maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and subject these funds to regular audits as part of its HUD compliance obligations.
