Dumas Housing Authority

Dumas Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity and public housing authority based in Dumas, Arkansas, operates as a recipient of formula-based federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and operating expenses for its public housing portfolio.

Dumas Housing Authority is a municipal housing agency—not a for-profit contractor or commercial vendor—and therefore does not compete for federal contracts or hold SBA certifications. The authority functions solely as a prime recipient of HUD formula grants allocated under two statutory programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). These are not competitive awards; they are statutory allocations based on the authority's public housing inventory characteristics and operational needs.

The authority's grant footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent awards include a $314,662 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including infrastructure improvements, modernization of existing units, development of additional public housing inventory, and emergency repairs in compliance with 24 CFR Part 905. The authority also received a $118,185 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032, supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs. The source shows ten grant awards spanning 2022 through 2026, all formula-based allocations under the same two programs, with no sub-awards or subcontractor relationships.

Combined obligated dollars across all 42 awards in the source data total $17.1 million. Activity is stable at two awards per year across the review period (2022–2026). Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a natural renewal cycle within HUD's annual formula-grant process. As a government entity, Dumas Housing Authority does not pursue federal contracts, hold parents vehicles, or engage in competitive procurement; its federal footprint is limited to statutory grant receipt and local public housing administration.
