Housing America Corp

Housing America Corp, a nonprofit community development corporation based in Somerton, Arizona, receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service to provide technical assistance and housing development services in rural Arizona as a prime grant recipient. The organization operates almost entirely under federal grants (93% of recent awards) with minimal subcontracting exposure, and serves a single dominant customer agency — the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service — across 13 recent prime grant awards.

Housing America Corp's grant portfolio concentrates on the Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420) and the Rural Housing Preservation Grants program, both administered through the Single Family Housing Program. The organization provides technical assistance services enabling very low- and low-income individuals and families in rural Arizona to construct their own homes using the self-help method, combining owner labor ("sweat equity") with professional construction expertise, homebuyer education, and financial counseling to reduce housing costs. Between 2021 and 2026, Housing America Corp received over $5 million in cumulative grant funding under CFDA 10.420 alone. Named awards include a $1.722 million Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance project grant awarded November 2025 (completion January 2027), an $840,000 project grant awarded November 2025 (completion January 2027), a $1.6 million grant awarded September 2021 (completion October 2022), and a $343,440 grant awarded August 2021 (completion October 2022). The organization also received a Rural Housing Preservation Grants award in July 2026 (completion August 2027) and serves as sub-recipient on a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sub-award dated September 2025 for roof replacement and energy-efficiency work on a 32-unit multifamily complex serving low- and moderate-income residents.

Activity has been episodic: one award in 2019, two in 2021, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunity. Housing America Corp operates without federal contracts, IDIQs, or GWACs, and does not hold prime contract positions. The organization's federal footprint is narrowly specialized in rural self-help housing technical assistance and housing preservation grant work in Arizona, with no diversification across other HUD programs, other agencies, or geographic markets beyond the source region.
