City Of Clayton

City Of Clayton, doing business as Clayton Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Clayton, Alabama that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime recipient — not a federal contractor — to operate and improve public housing serving low-income residents.

Clayton Housing Authority's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded and concentrated in two HUD programs. The authority has received ten formula grants spanning 2022 through 2026 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund), together accounting for 100% of recent awards from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and code compliance work specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan; most recent awards include a $126,312 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 and a prior Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029. The Public Housing Operating Fund grants provide operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative and program implementation costs. Recent Operating Fund grants span January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 and January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. These are formula-based allocations calculated using established formulas rather than competitive applications; Clayton Housing Authority, like approximately 2,770 other Public Housing Agencies nationwide, receives annual allocations based on inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. As a recipient of federal funds, the authority must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and accurately track public housing inventory data to ensure proper use of capital funds exclusively for eligible activities as defined in 24 CFR Part 905.

Award volume has been steady — two awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — with a combined obligation of $4.4 million across all forty awards in the source data. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (one Capital Fund grant completing May 12, 2025 and one Operating Fund grant completing December 31, 2024), creating potential for annual reallocation or renewal under HUD's formula process.
