Housing Authority Of City Of Canton

Housing Authority Of City Of Canton, doing business as Canton Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Canton, Mississippi, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing for low-income residents. The organization functions exclusively as a prime grant recipient — all forty-five awards in the source record are direct grants with no sub-award activity — and operates under the parent entity City Of Canton.

Canton Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs. The organization currently holds an operating grant award dated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 for $287,628. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, construction and acquisition of additional units, rehabilitation of existing units, energy efficiency upgrades, security enhancements, and financing activities. A representative Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 carries a formula allocation of $392,337. The two most recent Capital Fund awards, both dated in 2025 and 2024, reflect the consistent pattern of multi-year allocations under the formula-based program structure. Canton Housing Authority's combined obligated federal funding across all forty-five awards totals $14.9 million, with customer concentration at 100% — all awards derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022 through 2026). Within the next twenty-four months, two awards will reach their ultimate completion dates and therefore require recompete or renewal action. The organization's mission serves vulnerable populations including elderly residents and families with children in Canton, Mississippi's public housing inventory.
