Fayetteville Metropolitan Housing Authority

Fayetteville Metropolitan Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is a federal grant recipient that administers public housing operations and capital improvement programs funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates as a prime recipient on formula grant awards (95% of recent awards) and receives sub-awards on community development block grant mitigation work.

FMHA's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has funded 181 of the authority's 191 total awards since 2006. The authority receives recurring formula grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which finances day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure upgrades. Recent operating-fund awards include $333,232 (awarded January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032), $539,989 (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), $580,027 (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), and $198,324 (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). The authority received a $2,624,460 capital-fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, to support modernization and infrastructure improvements aligned with its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan. A $580,027 capital-fund award dated May 6, 2024, runs through May 5, 2028. FMHA also received a project grant under the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative (awarded June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2026) to advance employment outcomes for public housing residents. The authority serves low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in East Fayetteville and operates within HUD's Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200) and federal public housing regulations.

The authority's sub-award footprint includes ten awards (5% of total) from the North Carolina Department of Commerce received August 3 and August 23, 2023, supporting long-term resilience goals in communities impacted by Hurricanes Matthew and Florence under the State's HUD-approved Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Action Plan. The combined potential value across all 191 awards totals $138.8 million. Activity has remained steady, averaging ten awards per year over the past five years, with ten awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. FMHA has no federal contract prime awards or seats on federal contract vehicles; the authority's footprint is entirely grant-funded through HUD's housing formula programs.
