Formula Grant WV06E02950125

The Piedmont Housing Authority received a $245,650 Safety and Security Emergency set-aside allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) on September 18, 2025. This one-time grant, effective through September 17, 2027, funds capital improvements and emergency interventions to address crime, drug-related activity, and critical security infrastructure deficiencies in the Authority's public housing developments that cannot be absorbed within routine annual capital budgets. The award supports safety and security measures at the Piedmont, West Virginia location serving low-income public housing residents, including elderly residents and families with children.

The Safety and Security Emergency set-aside program, from which this award derives, is designed to assist approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide serving nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. Grants are awarded through a lottery mechanism due to high demand and limited funding availability, with a maximum grant cap of $250,000 per award. The Piedmont Housing Authority is restricted to one Safety and Security grant application per federal fiscal year and is ineligible to receive additional Safety and Security funding for the same developments under this allocation.
