Prichard Housing Authority

Prichard Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Prichard, Alabama that acts as prime recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with no federal contract prime awardees and no subcontractor role in the federal supply chain. The authority receives formula and project grants exclusively from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing modernization, operations, family self-sufficiency programming, and emergency capital improvements serving low-income residents in Prichard.

The authority's grant portfolio centers on three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for infrastructure modernization, development, and emergency repairs—Prichard holds multiple active allocations including a $299,489 four-year award effective April 2026 through March 2030 and a $250,000 emergency safety and security allocation through September 2027. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supplies annual operating and maintenance subsidies; the authority received a $198,200 grant covering January 2026 through December 2032. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher properties; Prichard's most recent annual award was $330,000 for calendar year 2026. The authority also participates in the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative (HUD Public and Indian Housing Office) with a performance period from June 2025 through May 2028, and received a housing counseling assistance grant from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner.

All 97 awards in the source footprint are prime recipient grants; Prichard does not sub-award or subcontract federal funding. HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office funds 88 awards (91% of the portfolio), with the remaining nine distributed across HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. Combined obligation across all grants totals $45.1 million. Activity has remained modest and steady—three to five awards per year over the past five years—with five grants reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. Prichard Housing Authority operates through two named subsidiaries: the Housing Authority of the City of Prichard Alabama and Prichard Housing Corporation, both structured as U.S. local government entities.
