Berry Housing Authority

Berry Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Berry, Alabama, operates as a prime recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority receives recurring formula grants under two core HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Berry Housing Authority does not hold federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of grant funding for public housing operations and capital improvements.

The Authority's recent grant activity centers on funding the day-to-day operations and modernization of its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Berry, Alabama. Operating Fund grants provide subsidies for property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses required to maintain adequate operational capacity. Capital Fund grants support infrastructure upgrades, facility improvements, emergency repairs, housing unit development or reconfiguration, and acquisition activities specified in the Authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan. A representative Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, carried $196,141 and runs through March 31, 2030. An Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026, carried $115,837 and extends through December 31, 2032. Both awards are formula-based allocations distributed by HUD according to established methodologies using inventory characteristics, unit counts, and building age.

Berry Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute — all forty awards in the source data flow from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient; no subrecipient or subcontractor relationships appear in the award history. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $6.1 million, with consistent annual grant activity of two awards per year over the past five years. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the Authority's recompete window for those funding streams. The Authority's federal footprint reflects its role as one of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide participating in HUD's Operating and Capital Fund programs, which collectively serve nearly one million public housing units across all fifty states and territories.
