Eastern Carolina Regional Housing Authority

Eastern Carolina Regional Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity operating from Goldsboro, North Carolina, is the recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, serving as a prime recipient with no subcontractor involvement across its entire federal award portfolio.

The authority's federal footprint consists exclusively of housing administration and operations funding through two HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supplies recurring annual operating subsidies to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses—property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation for public housing units serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities across eastern North Carolina. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides periodic capital grants for public housing development, modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and debt service, with funding allocated by formula based on the authority's inventory characteristics and approval of HUD-specified 5-year action plans.

Recent award activity shows a flat trajectory: thirteen awards per year across the past five years (2022 through 2026), with combined obligated value across all 242 awards in the source data totaling $82.7 million. The most recent award obligated in April 2026 reflects ongoing formula-grant allocation cycles. Operating Fund awards consistently run from January 1 through December 31 with seven-year or longer performance periods (through 2031, 2032, or beyond), with individual fiscal-year Operating Fund allocations ranging from approximately $119 thousand to $246 thousand per award. The Capital Fund award obligated April 1, 2026, carries a four-year performance window through March 31, 2030, with potential value of $2.739 million supporting capital and management activities. Thirteen awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for both Operating Fund continuation and Capital Fund replenishment cycles.

Customer concentration is singular: 100% of the 242 awards (100% coverage) fund the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, making ECRHA a formula-grant-only recipient with no contract vehicles, IDIQs, or competitive procurement involvement. The authority competes only through HUD's formula allocation mechanism, not full-and-open or set-aside bidding; federal funding flows by statutory entitlement rather than competitive award.
