The Department of Housing and Urban Development recorded eight housing awards on Sept. 18 totaling about $67.6M, led by $17.2M to the Chicago Housing Authority, which had drawn down $7.26M of it.[^4]

Federal awards data shows five of the awards are payments under the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. Four of them are for "mod rehab renewals": $7.79M to Minneapolis (up from $7.44M across two revisions, outlays $3.48M),[^2] $6.17M to the DC Housing Authority (up from $6M, outlays $2.49M),[^5] $5.99M to the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (outlays $3.24M),[^1] and Chicago's $17.2M. By this paper's arithmetic those four total about $37.2M.

The fifth Public and Indian Housing payment, $6.22M to the San Jose Housing Authority (up from $5.81M across two revisions, outlays $5.39M), is for "mod rehab - other rr93."[^6] By the same arithmetic, outlays across the five renewals total about $21.9M, leaving roughly $21.5M undisbursed.

The record also carries three project grants: $11.7M to the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance for the continuum of care program,[^3] $7.5M to the Lummi Nation Housing Authority,[^7] and $5M to the San Felipe Pueblo Housing Auth,[^8] the last two under the Indian Housing Block Grant competitive program.

The three grants carry no outlay records yet, and the three revised awards moved upward in each observation. Federal awards data will show whether the revisions hold as later observations accrue and how the grants begin to disburse.
