Hendersonville Housing Authority awarded $508,379 grant

The Hendersonville Housing Authority has been awarded a $508,379 grant by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that will be used to make major large-scale improvements to public housing units.


The grant was provided through HUD's Captial Fund Program, which provides funding annually to all public housing authorities to build, repair, renovate and/or modernize the public housing in their communities. The authorities use the funding to do large-scale improvements to the housing, such as new roofs or to make energy-efficient upgrades to replace old plumbing and electrical systems.
A total of $48,626,554 was awarded in North Carolina. Included in that amount is $199,217 to the Brevard Housing Authority.
Capital Fund grants are awarded each year to the nation's approximately 3,100 public housing agencies through a formula that considers number, type and age of units in a community. Eligible uses for this funding include development, financing and modernization of the public housing units as well as management improvements at the public housing authority.
