Caruthersville Housing Authority

Caruthersville Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity and local housing authority based in Caruthersville, Missouri, operates exclusively as a grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering public housing programs for low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities.

The authority's entire federal grant footprint—59 awards totaling $29.2 million obligated across recent years—derives from two HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring annual allocations for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Recent operating fund awards include $152,278 obligated on August 3, 2026 (performance through December 31, 2030), $470,014 obligated on January 1, 2026 (performance through December 31, 2032), and $282,051 obligated on January 1, 2026 (performance through December 31, 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances modernization, development, and management improvements to the authority's housing inventory within its approved 5-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency or disaster-related work. A representative capital fund award of $1,070,429 was obligated on April 1, 2026 for capital and management activities (performance through March 31, 2030).

Activity has remained consistent at approximately three awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with four awards in 2026. The authority has no prime federal contracts or subcontract work; all 59 awards are HUD grant receipts under the single customer, the Public and Indian Housing Office. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing routine recompete cycles as formula grants renew. All work is performed in Caruthersville, Missouri, serving the authority's public housing portfolio as required under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
