Public Housing Capital Fund Program

The Tuscaloosa Housing Authority’s (THA) Capital Programs Department is responsible for the development, financing and modernization of its public housing developments. THA receives funding from HUD annually to administer these programs. In return, the Authority provides reporting to HUD to ensure the funds are utilized in accordance with Federal Regulations. Projects must be identified in the Authority’s Annual and Five-Year Plans and approved by HUD prior to commencement. Most of the Authority’s Capital Funds are dedicated to renovations of its housing stock while other grants are sought to create new housing developments.
