The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Rogersville Housing Authority $250,000 on September 18, 2025, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to address safety and security emergencies at public housing facilities in Rogersville, Tennessee.
This award funds capital needs for safety and security measures, including measures to address crime and drug-related activity. The grant provides one-time assistance for safety and security items that could not be absorbed within the PHA's annual capital fund grant. The funding was selected through lottery due to high demand for the emergency and non-presidentially declared natural disaster set-aside; HUD currently accepts only one safety and security grant application per PHA each federal fiscal year, with a maximum award of $250,000. The safety and security emergency must occur within the same federal fiscal year that funding is requested, and a PHA is ineligible to receive such funding if it has previously received safety and security funding for the same development or developments.
Performance period runs through September 17, 2027. Work is performed at Rogersville, Tennessee. Rogersville Housing Authority operates as a grant recipient exclusively; it receives all federal funding through HUD formula grants supporting public housing operations, capital improvements, and emergency needs. The authority has received 43 federal grants from 2022 to 2026, with combined dollars obligated of $19.1 million.
