Dickson Housing Authority ("")

Dickson Housing Authority, a not-for-profit domestic shelter serving Dickson, Tennessee, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contracting activity. The authority receives formula-based grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850).

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards across two parallel funding streams. Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, maintenance, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to public housing units; a recent award of $375,326 granted on April 1, 2026 runs through March 31, 2030, with a prior award dated May 6, 2024 completing May 5, 2028. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. An operating grant of $157,809 effective January 1, 2026 runs through December 31, 2032; a prior operating award dated January 1, 2025 completes December 31, 2031. Combined obligated dollars across all 41 awards total $12.2 million. Dickson Housing Authority operates as a 100% prime recipient with no sub-grant partners identified across its federal portfolio.

The authority's grant awards are concentrated in a single customer — the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for all 41 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 through April 2026. Award frequency has remained steady at two grants per year across the past five calendar years (2022 through 2026). Within the next twenty-four months, four awards will reach ultimate completion dates and face renewal or recompete. The authority's mission centers on delivering decent, safe, and affordable housing to low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities within its Dickson service area, funded through HUD's formula-based allocation process rather than through competitive procurement.
