Housing Authority

Housing Authority of Bennettsville Division, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Bennettsville, South Carolina, receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units serving low-income residents. The entity is a 100% prime grant recipient with no federal contracting activity and no subcontractor relationships.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively under two HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides funding for modernization, development, and management improvements to public housing inventory, including construction and acquisition of housing units, rehabilitation of existing structures, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $586,989 grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, an award dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029, and an earlier award dated May 6, 2024 with ultimate completion May 5, 2028. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Recent Operating Fund awards include a $268,440 grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 and an award dated January 1, 2025 with ultimate completion December 31, 2031.

The Housing Authority's award footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD—100% of the 40 awards in the source data derive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $15.9 million over a source period spanning from 2006 to April 2026. Activity runs at two awards per year across 2022 through 2026. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Housing Authority receives formula allocations calculated based on its public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs, and must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements codified in 2 CFR 200. As a local government housing authority, it operates as a direct recipient of federal housing assistance rather than as a federal contractor or subcontractor.
