Forest City Housing Authority

Forest City Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Forest City, North Carolina, is a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards) that administers federal housing capital and operating fund awards from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority does not hold federal contracts or serve as a contractor; it receives and directly administers formula grants to maintain and improve public housing stock and operations for low-income residents in Forest City.

Forest City Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs. The authority is a recipient under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure repairs and upgrades, emergency work, energy efficiency improvements, and related capital projects aligned with HUD-approved five-year action plans. Recent capital fund awards include a $587,371 grant effective April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030, and prior grants awarded May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), February 17, 2023 (completion February 16, 2027), May 12, 2022 (completion May 11, 2026), and September 18, 2023 (completion September 17, 2025). The authority also receives recurring awards under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative implementation. A January 1, 2026 operating fund award of $290,926 runs through December 31, 2032; prior operating awards cover periods from January 1, 2024, to January 1, 2025. The authority received a project grant under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative awarded June 1, 2023, with completion by May 31, 2026, which supports employment and economic mobility initiatives for public housing residents.

All 43 awards in the source data are prime recipient awards; the authority does not subcontract federal funds or appear as a sub-recipient. Customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards are from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $17.2 million. Award volume has remained modest at one or two awards per year over the past five years. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal dates in that window.
