Ferriday Housing And Development Corporation

Ferriday Housing And Development Corporation, doing business as Ferriday Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Ferriday, Louisiana that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in its service area. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient—100% of its federal funding comes through prime grants rather than contracts or subcontract work.

The organization's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) for capital improvements and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) for day-to-day operations and maintenance. Recent awards include a $218,899 capital fund grant dated April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, for public housing modernization, development, rehabilitation, and infrastructure improvements; a $125,250 operating fund grant dated January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032, for property management, maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses; and prior capital and operating awards dating to 2022. All funds support the authority's mission to provide affordable housing in the Ferriday area and must align with the authority's approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work. Eligible capital uses include construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments.

Customer concentration is singular—all forty awards over the award period derive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with combined obligations of $6.1 million. Activity has remained flat at two awards annually from 2022 through 2026. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete opportunity for replacement capital or operating grants in that window.
