Heflin Housing Authority

Heflin Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Heflin, Alabama, operates as a public housing authority dedicated to providing affordable housing solutions to low-income residents in its service area. The organization is registered in SAM.gov and maintains active federal grant relationships primarily through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. As a housing authority, Heflin Housing Authority receives federal formula grant awards to support the development, maintenance, and operation of public housing units that serve vulnerable populations, including elderly residents and families with children.

Heflin Housing Authority has consistently received formula grant awards through two primary federal programs administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office: the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OPFUND) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFPA 14.872). The Operating Fund grants, awarded annually beginning January 1st with multi-year completion dates, provide subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Capital Fund grants, awarded on a staggered schedule (most recently in May 2025 for $104,634), support capital improvements such as public housing modernization, development, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and emergency repairs to the housing authority's inventory. The authority's award history spans from February 2021 through January 2026, demonstrating consistent federal funding through formula-based mechanisms rather than competitive solicitations. All awards are direct to Heflin Housing Authority with no indication of subcontracting or prime awardee arrangements, allowing the authority to maintain direct control over grant implementation and fund utilization for capital projects and operational sustainability of its public housing portfolio.
