Sparta Housing Authority (The)

The Sparta Housing Authority, a child entity of the City of Sparta local government based in Sparta, Tennessee, is a recipient of federal housing capital and operating grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating 100% as a prime grant recipient with no subcontractor or sub-recipient activity.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). The capital fund grants support public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, facility upgrades, and development activities that add to or reconfigure the public housing inventory in Sparta, including energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and management improvements in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905. The operating fund grants provide day-to-day operational and maintenance subsidies to support routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation for low-income residents.

Recent awards include a $499,143 capital fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $192,688 operating fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a capital fund award effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029; and an operating fund award effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. The authority has received capital and operating fund allocations consistently since 2022, with two awards per year over the past five years. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-two awards in the source data total $13.3 million.

Activity is flat and concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of the authority's award count. Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The authority's parent entity, the City of Sparta, is itself a U.S. local government holding primary administrative oversight; the housing authority operates as a subordinate public entity under 24 CFR Part 905 compliance obligations and must maintain HUD-approved five-year action plans for all capital expenditures and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and audit reporting for federal fund administration.
