Fairfield Alabama Housing Authority

Fairfield Alabama Housing Authority, a local government entity and public housing authority based in Fairfield, Alabama, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating exclusively under HUD's Public Housing programs without any federal contracts or subcontracting relationships.

The authority's federal footprint is entirely grant-based and concentrated on two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants, awarded annually and running through 2032, provide subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The authority received $605,242 obligated on January 1, 2026 (performance through December 31, 2032), and $329,093 obligated the same date with the same ultimate completion. Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to public housing stock. The authority received $1,083,288 awarded April 1, 2026 (performance through March 31, 2030) for capital and management activities including construction and acquisition of additional units, modernization of existing housing stock, emergency repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and infrastructure upgrades.

The authority's activity is steady and recurring — three awards per year for the past five years, with 61 total awards across the source data spanning from 2022 forward, representing $41.8 million in combined obligations. All awards are prime grants (100%) to the authority itself; there is no subcontracting or sub-recipient activity. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole customer agency, accounting for 100% of awards. Five awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete within that window. The authority serves low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Fairfield area under the statutory framework of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and implementing regulations at 24 CFR 905.200 and 2 CFR 200.
