Bolivar Housing Authority

Bolivar Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Bolivar, Tennessee, is a federal grant recipient operating under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives formula grant funding for public housing capital improvements, operating expenses, and resident services — not federal contracts — and operates exclusively as a recipient (100% of awards are prime grants, zero subrecipient activity).

Bolivar Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on two HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides grants for modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of public housing units. The most recent capital fund award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, carries $378,834 in potential value and supports activities specified in the authority's five-year action plan or emergency work approved by HUD. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The most recent operating fund award, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, carries $179,508 in potential value.

Customer concentration is complete: 100% of the authority's federal awards derive from the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office. Across the past five years, the authority has received two awards annually — four awards (combined $11 million obligated) across the full source data span. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. The authority's grant activity is formula-driven rather than competitive; award amounts are calculated using established formulas reflecting the authority's public housing inventory characteristics (unit counts, building age, construction costs) as part of a national program serving approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies managing nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories.
