Bristol Housing

Bristol Housing, a tax-exempt public housing authority headquartered in Bristol, Tennessee, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contracts and no subcontract work. Bristol Housing administers public housing units and receives recurring formula-based allocations under two principal HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

Bristol Housing's federal footprint is wholly concentrated within the Department of Housing and Urban Development — 61 awards across the entire award history, all prime grants, serving a single customer agency. Recent grant activity includes a $842,758 Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, with completion March 31, 2030, funding capital and management activities including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs to public housing units serving low-income residents. Bristol Housing also holds two overlapping Public Housing Operating Fund awards effective January 1, 2026: one for $183,368 and a second for $196,479, both running through December 31, 2032, supporting 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 costs. Prior capital and operating awards span 2022 through 2025, structured as formula grants with multi-year performance periods aligned to HUD's standard funding cycles.

Bristol Housing operates within the Public Housing Operating Fund, a $5 billion national program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities and 1.59 million residents, and the Public Housing Capital Fund, which distributes to nearly 2,770 public housing agencies serving nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories. Bristol Housing's allocation methodology follows HUD's formula-based distribution model using characteristics of the agency's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The vendor's combined dollars obligated across all sixty-one awards total $27.3 million. Award activity has remained consistent at three awards per year across the most recent five-year period (2022–2026). Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete cycle for Bristol Housing's recurring HUD formula grant participation.
