Cullman Housing Authority

Cullman Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Cullman, Alabama, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as the prime recipient under three cornerstone HUD grant programs, with no federal contract prime or subcontract activity.

Cullman Housing Authority operates exclusively as a recipient of HUD formula and project grants. The authority's recent federal grant footprint spans three programs under CFDA jurisdiction. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses; the authority holds multiple operating-fund grants running through 2031 and 2032, with recent awards including $263,818 obligated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032) and $192,767 obligated the same date (completion December 31, 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities; a $1,193,193 formula grant was awarded April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), with an earlier $1.5 million-plus award dated May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program funds FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to serve enrolled families in self-sufficiency training and employment pathways; project grants dated January 1, 2026 and January 1, 2025 supported this work, with the 2026 grant running through December 31, 2026.

Cullman Housing Authority's federal award activity is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of seventy total awards across the recent portfolio. The authority has received five awards obligating in the next twenty-four months. Activity has remained steady at four to five awards annually from 2022 through 2026, with $34.6 million combined dollars obligated across the entire award history. The authority operates no federal contracts, holds no seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, and engages in no prime or subcontract activity — its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based formula and project funding tied to public housing operations and resident services in Cullman.
