City Of Clarendon

City Of Clarendon, doing business as Clarendon Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Clarendon, Arkansas, that receives federal housing formula grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates exclusively under HUD grants and does not hold federal contracts or compete under set-asides.

Clarendon Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants under two core HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund awards support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and insurance for the authority's public housing portfolio. The Capital Fund awards provide modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development funding to modernize the authority's public housing inventory and support eligible capital management activities within an approved five-year action plan. Recent awards include a $132,121 Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; a $260,197 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; a prior Capital Fund grant with an ultimate completion date of May 5, 2028; and a prior Operating Fund grant with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2031. The authority has received grants since at least 2006.

HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 42 of 43 recent awards (100% coverage); a single $2 thousand award to Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 6 represents the only non-HUD funding. Activity has remained stable at two awards per year over the past five years. The combined potential value across all 43 awards in the source is reported as $2 thousand, though obligated dollars total $8 million — a data signature typical of mature formula-grant portfolios where most funding has already been obligated and dollar values reflect renewal or supplemental tranches. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential renewal and recompete cycles aligned with HUD's grant cycles. Clarendon Housing Authority is a subsidiary entity of City Of Clarendon (the parent municipality).
