Graham Housing Authority Inc.

Graham Housing Authority Inc., doing business as Graham Housing Authority, is a local government housing authority based in Graham, North Carolina, that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents. The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of awards) with no federal contract prime or subcontractor presence.

Graham Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office (PHIO) formula grants across two primary programs. The authority holds recurring awards under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs necessary to maintain safe, decent, and sanitary housing conditions. The Operating Fund operates on multi-year cycles; the authority's current award runs January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The authority also receives awards under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports capital and management activities including construction, acquisition of additional units, modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities specified in HUD-approved five-year action plans. The most recent Capital Fund award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, carries $608,677 in combined potential value; an earlier Capital Fund grant running through May 12, 2029 was awarded May 13, 2025.

The authority's customer concentration is exclusively within HUD, with 40 of 45 awards attributable to the Public and Indian Housing Office and 5 awards from the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. Over the past five years (2022–2026), the authority has received an average of two awards annually, with $19.3 million in combined obligated dollars across all 45 historical awards in the source data. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority does not engage in contract work, subcontracting, or competitive federal procurement; its federal relationship is limited to formula-based grant allocation as a Public Housing Agency serving approximately 902,436 public housing households nationally alongside approximately 6,000 other housing authorities.
