East Carroll Housing Authority Inc.

East Carroll Housing Authority Inc., a U.S. local government entity structured as a public housing authority operating the East Carroll Parish Housing Authority Division in Lake Providence, Louisiana, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for public housing capital improvements and operating expenses.

The authority functions exclusively as a prime recipient, not a contractor or subcontractor, across its federal footprint. All 39 recent awards span the Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.872 for capital funds and Public Housing Operating Fund for operations). The authority receives recurring formula-grant allocations under two primary HUD programs. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, development, and management activities under 24 CFR Part 905 — eligible uses include construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, provided activities are specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administration. Representative recent awards include a $129,476 Public Housing Capital Fund grant issued April 1, 2026 with completion March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant issued January 1, 2026 with completion December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant issued May 13, 2025 with completion May 12, 2029.

The authority's customer base is singular — 100% of awards derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, reflecting the formula-grant structure of public housing finance. Activity has remained consistent at two awards per year across 2022–2026. Combined dollars obligated across all 39 awards total $3.5 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a modest recompete window. The authority maintains no federal contract prime or subcontract relationships and does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles; its federal engagement is entirely grant-based under HUD's statutory housing programs.
