Housing Authority City Of Carthage

Housing Authority City of Carthage is a U.S. local government entity operating as a public housing authority in Carthage, Arkansas, and acts as a prime recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority does not compete for federal contracts and holds no contract vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of formula grants supporting public housing operations and capital improvements.

Housing Authority City of Carthage receives recurring annual or multi-year formula grants under two principal HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OPFUND) provides operating subsidies to fund 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 Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and other eligible capital activities as described in 24 CFR Part 905, including construction, acquisition, and reconfiguration of public housing units within the authority's inventory. Recent awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; and a prior Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029. The authority has also received Public Housing Operating Fund and Capital Fund grants in 2024, 2023, and 2022, with earlier awards documented back to 2006.

The authority's activity pattern shows steady-state grant receipt: two awards per year in each of the last five years (2022 through 2026), totaling 38 prime grants across the source window. All awards are issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office; the authority has no contract prime or sub relationships. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.1 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying recompete or renewal exposure in that window. As a government entity, Housing Authority City of Carthage is not an SBA-designated small business and does not hold certifications as a small business prime contractor; it operates as a direct recipient of statutory housing-authority grants under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
