Dyersburg Housing Authority

Dyersburg Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Dyersburg, Tennessee, is a federal grant recipient receiving formula allocations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing units serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contract work and no subcontractor relationships; all 58 federal awards in the recent portfolio are formula grants administered directly by HUD.

Dyersburg Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of two recurring HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supplies annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation expenses. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula-based grants for capital improvements, housing modernization, development, renovation, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. Recent awards include a $1.804 million Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a $457,173 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $243,562 Operating Fund grant under the same period. The Authority's customer concentration is singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of its 58 awards and the full $50.3 million in combined dollars obligated across the portfolio.

Activity remains steady at three awards per year over the past five years, with six awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority competes in a non-competitive formula environment; award amounts are calculated using HUD-established formulas based on the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics—unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than through application-based competitive processes. Grant compliance requires adherence to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintenance of accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System to retain funding eligibility.
