Summary of Federal Formula Grant Award

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Charlottesville Redevelopment & Housing Authority (CRHA) a Public Housing Capital Fund grant (CFDA 14.872) in the amount of $1,400,553 effective April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This formula-based allocation supports capital and management activities serving low-income residents in Charlottesville, Virginia. The funding enables CRHA to conduct public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements across its portfolio of public housing units, consistent with an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

As a Public Housing Agency managing nearly one million units nationwide through approximately 2,770 PHAs, CRHA utilizes Capital Fund allocations for eligible activities including facility modernization, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, physical infrastructure improvements, and related management enhancements. The award amount is calculated using HUD's established formula methodology based on CRHA's public housing inventory characteristics such as unit count, building age, and construction costs. All activities and expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and CRHA is required to maintain detailed budgets and cost records for HUD review and independent audit.
