Formula Grant TN00700001026D

The Jackson Housing Authority received a $202,978 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. This award provides operating subsidies to support the day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses of public housing dwellings in Jackson, Tennessee, consistent with Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The funding enables the Authority to sustain essential services and maintain minimum operating reserves for its portfolio.

The operating funds support a comprehensive range of activities including property management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs. These resources are critical to maintaining decent, safe, and sanitary housing for the vulnerable populations served by Jackson Housing Authority, including elderly residents and families with children throughout the Jackson area. The award is part of the larger $5 billion national Public Housing Operating Fund program, which provides recurring formula-based funding to approximately 6,000 housing authorities serving nearly 1.6 million public housing residents across the United States.
