About this program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office funds demolition, substantial rehabilitation, reconfiguration, and replacement of severely distressed public housing units under CFDA 14.866, with the most recent grant award disbursed on July 17, 2024.
Award activity has been sparse in recent years, with one award in 2024, two in 2022, three in 2018, two in 2016, and one in 2015 across the past decade. The program has distributed 630 total awards since 1995, accumulating $902.3 million in federal obligations. The portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (93 percent of awards) with a smaller share of Formula Grants (7 percent).
Funded activities center on revitalizing severely distressed public housing developments through physical redevelopment paired with community and supportive services. The program specifically targets reduction of low-income concentration, creation of mixed-income communities, and provision of coordinated services supporting resident self-sufficiency, youth educational achievement, and neighborhood quality-of-life improvement. Recent Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grants demonstrate the scale of individual awards: $50 million to Nebraska, $40 million to Tennessee, $30 million to Oklahoma, and $24.2 million to Louisiana, all obligated in 2018 or 2022 with completion dates through 2029 or 2033. A 2024 New Jersey award obligated $19.1 million with a completion date of September 30, 2033.
Eligible applicants are Public Housing Agencies operating public housing units. Indian Housing Authorities and PHAs administering only Section 8 are not eligible. HUD reviews applications for threshold compliance approximately three months after the deadline, assigns rating points to qualifying applications, and notifies the highest-rated applicants of selection. Funds obligate when HUD and the applicant execute the standard assistance award form.
