Lake City Housing Authority

Lake City Housing Authority, doing business as Lake City Housing, is a U.S. local government housing authority entity headquartered in Lake City, Arkansas, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, not contracts.

Lake City Housing operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two HUD formula-grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The organization is not a federal contractor and does not hold contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs. All 42 awards in the source data are federal grants; the authority has zero sub-award activity. Recent grants include a $123,686 Public Housing Capital Fund award (April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030) supporting capital and management activities such as modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development of housing units, and recurring Public Housing Operating Fund awards (most recently January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032) funding day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance. A prior Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion May 5, 2028, and another from February 17, 2023, completing February 16, 2027, represent the capital-fund award pattern.

Lake City Housing's customer concentration is singular: 100% of awards originate with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, one of 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide. The authority receives formula-based allocations calculated on established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit count, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application. Eligible activities must align with an approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work, with all expenditures subject to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Activity is consistent: two awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-two awards total $3.5 million. Two awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, triggering formula-grant renewals rather than recompete cycles. Lake City Housing operates a public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Lake City, Arkansas, with federal funding directed to maintaining and enhancing affordable housing inventory and ensuring decent, safe, and sanitary living conditions.
