Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

On September 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $249,969 to the Charlottesville Redevelopment & Housing Authority (CRHA) under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). This emergency safety and security set-aside grant, part of HUD's Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster allocation, provides one-time funding to address critical capital needs for safety and security emergencies within public housing developments. The award is designed to support measures addressing crime and drug-related activity that cannot be accommodated within CRHA's standard annual capital fund allocation.

The funding enables CRHA to implement safety and security improvements at its public housing properties in Charlottesville, Virginia, through September 17, 2027. As a specialized component of the Capital Fund program distributed through lottery-based selection due to high demand, this grant represents targeted assistance to one of approximately 2,770 eligible public housing agencies serving nearly one million units nationwide. Recipients must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory records in HUD's Information Management System, with awards evaluated based on proposed cost estimates, number of units affected, and documentation of the identified safety and security emergency.
