Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Cameron Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $403,489 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 award supports capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements in Cameron, Texas. The funding may be allocated toward eligible activities including property modernization, development of additional public housing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, planned code compliance work, and related management improvements as described in 24 CFR Part 905.

As a formula-based grant program serving approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide, the Capital Fund allocates resources based on established formulas reflecting each PHA's inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Cameron Housing Authority must utilize these funds in accordance with its approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work initiatives, with expenditures limited to eligible activities. The funds support the authority's broader mission of maintaining and improving affordable housing infrastructure and resident services for the community it serves.
