Town Of Coventry Housing Authority

Town Of Coventry Housing Authority, a Rhode Island municipal housing authority, is a recipient of federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with all fifty-six recent awards issued under three formula and project grant programs supporting public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident employment services.

The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a prime or sub contractor — and receives 100 percent of its federal funding from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Over the past five years, the Authority has received three to five awards annually, with recent activity stable at three awards in 2025 and three in 2026 (as of April). The Authority's grant portfolio spans three federal programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine maintenance, anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the Authority's public housing inventory; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), a project grant funding salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families.

Representative recent awards include a $440,147 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, a $183,492 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and a $117,988 Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The Authority receives these awards as formula-based allocations calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting public housing inventory characteristics. Combined obligated funding across the entire award portfolio stands at $14.2 million, with the Authority holding sole customer concentration — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office funds all fifty-six awards. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
