Erwin Housing Authority

Erwin Housing Authority, a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing agency headquartered in Erwin, Tennessee, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements, modernization, operating expenses, and management activities for low-income public housing residents in Erwin. The organization operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts as a prime, subcontractor, or consortia member, and it does not compete for work on federal contract vehicles.

Erwin Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, unit renovations and development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements specified in the authority's five-year action plan. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation costs. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $191,528 formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030; a prior Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, with completion by May 12, 2029; and a Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024, with completion by May 5, 2028. Operating Fund awards follow annual issuance patterns, with awards dated January 1, 2026, (completion December 31, 2032) and January 1, 2025, (completion December 31, 2031) representing the most recent cycle.

Erwin Housing Authority's customer base is singular: 47 awards across the source data represent 100% concentration with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Combined dollars obligated across all 47 awards total $6.3 million. Award volume has declined from five awards in 2022 to two annually in 2025 and 2026, reflecting the formula-grant structure — these allocations are not competitive procurements but statutory distributions based on inventory characteristics and funding methodology. Eight awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering renewal cycles under HUD's ongoing formula-grant process. The authority does not engage subcontractors or sub-recipients; it operates as a direct grant recipient responsible for implementing capital projects and maintaining compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's Information Management System requirements.
