Fairmont Housing Authority

Fairmont Housing Authority, a local government entity located in Fairmont, North Carolina, is a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards) operating public housing under formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal prime contracting footprint.

Fairmont Housing Authority receives recurring formula-grant allocations under two core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including public housing development, modernization, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities. Recent awards include a $182,901 Capital Fund grant (effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $109,432 Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). These awards are formula-based allocations calculated by HUD using the authority's public housing inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, and construction costs — and do not require competitive application. All capital and operating funds are restricted to eligible public housing activities outlined in 24 CFR Part 905, and the authority must maintain compliance with its HUD-approved five-year action plan and the Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200.

The authority's federal footprint is exclusively HUD-driven: all 41 awards in the recent dataset come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Activity is flat at approximately two awards per year over the past five years. Two awards (representing the Operating Fund and Capital Fund allocations) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering automatic recompete through HUD's standard formula-allocation cycle. The authority operates as a prime recipient only, with zero sub-awards or contract work; it functions as a local housing authority administering federal rental assistance and capital improvement programs for low-income residents in the Fairmont community, not as a service vendor or contractor to the federal government.
