The Rockford Housing Authority (RHA) is committed to empowering residents by giving them a say in housing improvements. Starting in February, RHA will hold Capital Fund Meetings to gather feedback on how funds should be used to enhance living spaces. These insights will directly shape the Annual Plan and Moving to Work Plan, ensuring resident needs are met.
The Capital Fund Program (CFP) is a crucial source of federal funding provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Your feedback directly influences how these funds are spent. The RHA uses resident suggestions to prioritize projects that improve quality of life. Participating in Capital Fund Meetings gives you a voice in shaping the future of RHA communities.
Make sure your opinions are heard! The RHA Capital Fund Meetings begin in February, and all residents are encouraged to attend. Your input will guide the Annual Plan and Moving to Work Plan, which must be submitted by July 18, 2025. Stay engaged and help improve your community!
