Burlington Housing Authority

Burlington Housing Authority, a public housing agency based in Burlington, North Carolina, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on public housing capital improvements, operations funding, and resident self-sufficiency programs under formula and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Burlington Housing Authority holds a 100% prime-recipient footprint across all federal funding, with no subcontract activity. The agency is a non-tax-exempt corporate entity serving as the direct recipient of HUD grants rather than as a contractor providing goods or services to the federal government. The organization's mission centers on administering low-income public housing operations and capital modernization in Burlington, North Carolina.

The agency's recent grant portfolio is heavily concentrated with a single customer. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 75 of 81 recent awards (covering 100% of the portfolio when combined with HUD's other offices), with smaller volumes from the Corporation for National and Community Service (3 awards) and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (1 award). Over the five-year period covered in the source data, award volume has remained relatively flat at two to four annual grants per year.

Burlington Housing Authority's grant work is organized around three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified) provides formula-based subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, with awards running through December 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies formula grants for capital improvements, infrastructure modernization, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs, with representative awards dated May 2024 (completion May 2028), May 2025 (completion May 2029), and April 2026 (completion March 2030). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA not specified) funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who work with public housing residents on employment and self-sufficiency outcomes. A congressionally directed spending award from HUD's Community Planning and Development office dated August 2024 (completion August 2032) represents economic development or community project funding aligned with legislative intent. Over the next twenty-four months, three grants face ultimate completion date and potential renewal consideration. Combined dollars obligated across all eighty-one awards total $44.2 million, with individual awards including the $272,109 Public Housing Capital Fund grant for April 2026 through March 2030.
