Memphis Housing Authority

Memphis Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and municipal housing agency, receives federal formula grants exclusively from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units serving low-income residents in Memphis, Texas.

The authority functions as a prime recipient under two recurring HUD formula grant 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 expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs required under the Housing Act of 1937. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure activities including construction and acquisition of additional units, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and non-routine maintenance, all specified in the authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan. Recent awards include a $172,507 Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; a $212,849 Capital Fund grant dated April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; and a Capital Fund grant dated August 3, 2026, running through December 31, 2030. All work is performed in Memphis, Texas, and subject to compliance with 24 CFR Part 905 and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Memphis Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula allocations — 42 awards totaling $6.6 million obligated, spanning from 2006 to the present, with no prime contracts, contract vehicles, or sub-award activity. The authority operates as 100% prime recipient with a single customer agency. Activity has remained steady at two awards per year through 2025, with three awards in 2026. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority does not compete for federal contracts; it receives formula-driven allocations through HUD's statutory Public Housing program administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office.
