What does the Capital Fund Program do? How do they decide where funding will go?

PBCHA is dedicated to revitalizing its public housing portfolio to be a place its residents are proud to call home. In doing so, the Authority submits a rolling “Five Year Plan” which is a list of projects that it intends to perform throughout its Public Housing communities and Scattered Site Single-Family Homes over a 5 year period.

PBCHA creates their plan by reviewing any health and safety issues, the Physical Needs Report prepared by a third party which reflects areas needing repair/replacement, Resident Work Order requests from past years for repeated concerns, NSPIRE Inspection deficiencies conducted directly by HUD personnel, and by surveying its residents across all 428 public housing units.
