Blytheville Housing Authority

Blytheville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Blytheville, Arkansas, is a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards as prime recipient) that receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Blytheville.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, rehabilitation of existing units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements. Recent awards include a $862,019 Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $425,814 Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). All expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with funds allocated and obligated only for activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

The Authority has received 54 awards across both programs since 2006, with $30.4 million combined dollars obligated. All customer concentration sits with a single agency—the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of awards. Activity has remained flat at approximately two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete exposure for these annual formula grant allocations. The Authority does not hold prime federal contracts, GWACs, or IDIQs, nor does it function as a subcontractor on federal awards; it operates exclusively as a prime recipient of HUD formula grants supporting public housing operations and capital improvements in Blytheville.
