Summary of Federal Grant Award

Cameron County Housing Authority Inc. received a formula grant award of $1,049,411 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 award supports capital and management activities to modernize and improve the Authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents in the Cameron County region of Texas. Eligible uses of Capital Fund resources include construction, rehabilitation, demolition, reconfiguration, energy efficiency improvements, and development activities that enhance or expand the public housing unit inventory in accordance with the Authority's approved 5-year action plan and applicable regulations in 24 CFR Part 905.

As a formula-based allocation program, the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes annual funding to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units based on inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. The Authority must utilize funds exclusively for eligible capital activities, maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and certify the accuracy of its public housing inventory information in HUD's Information Management System/Public Housing Information Center system to maintain funding eligibility.
