City Of Fort Payne

The Housing Authority of the City of Fort Payne, a local government entity headquartered in Fort Payne, Alabama, receives federal grant funding as the prime recipient for public housing operations and capital improvements, with no federal contract prime awards and no subcontractor footprint in recent activity.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office programs, receiving formula grants under two primary vehicles: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses — property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses required under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, acquisition, and rehabilitation of housing units serving low-income residents in Fort Payne. Recent awards include a $355,934 Operating Fund grant (CFDA 14.850) effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and an $873,891 Capital Fund grant (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. A third Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, carries $178,389 in annual funding through December 31, 2032.

Customer concentration is singular: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 72 of 74 total awards (97% of awards). The remaining two awards come from FEMA's Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards program and Interior's National Park Service Southeast Region, representing outlier activity. The Housing Authority has received 74 total grants since 2006, with steady annual volume of four awards per year across 2022 through 2026. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $28.7 million. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete or continuation exposure. The Housing Authority is a child entity of the City of Fort Payne (a local government city structure) and operates as a standalone grantee under federal public housing statutes. The entity does not hold federal contracts, does not sit on GWACs or IDIQs, and does not sub-contract on federal awards — its federal footprint consists entirely of direct formula-grant relationships with HUD for the operation and capital improvement of its public housing inventory serving low-income households in Alabama.
