Formula Grant TX59P39650126

The Housing Authority of Starr County received $210,619 in formula grant funding 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) program, with an award date of April 1, 2026, and ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030. The Capital Fund provides annual formula-based allocations to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide to support capital and management activities serving low-income residents. As a county-level PHA operating in Rio Grande City, Texas, the Housing Authority of Starr County utilizes these funds for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements, including construction, rehabilitation, demolition, and reconfiguration of public housing units within its inventory.

The eligible activities funded under this award are specified in the PHA's approved 5-year action plan or as approved by HUD for emergency work or non-presidentially declared natural disaster relief, in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905. The Capital Fund supports critical infrastructure improvements and management enhancements necessary to maintain housing quality and compliance with the Housing Act of 1937 and applicable federal regulations. Awards are calculated using HUD's established formula methodology, which reflects each PHA's public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes.
