Bladen Housing Authority, Inc.

Bladen Housing Authority, Inc., a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Bladenboro, North Carolina, is a federal grant recipient operating under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public Housing programs as a formula-grant recipient exclusively.

Bladen Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants supporting public housing operations and capital improvements in its service area. The authority receives recurring formula allocations under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which covers day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that enhance the safety and functionality of the public housing inventory. Recent named awards include a $306,932 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a $103,300 operating fund allocation for January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The authority's grant portfolio spans from August 2017 to present, with thirty formula-grant awards across both programs.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for one hundred percent of awards. The authority holds no federal contracts, no parent contract vehicles, and no subcontractor relationships; all federal activity is direct grant receipts from HUD. Combined dollars obligated across the award portfolio total $5.1 million. Activity is stable and recurring — three grants annually from 2022 through 2026 — reflecting the cyclical nature of formula allocations under the Public Housing Act of 1937. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submit annual Capital Fund certifications for HUD oversight and audit. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure given the formula-based structure of these grants.
