Housing Authority Of Itta Bena

Housing Authority Of Itta Bena is a U.S. local government entity and municipal housing authority based in Itta Bena, Mississippi, that receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing units serving low-income residents. The entity is a prime recipient of federal grants only — no federal contracts, subcontractor relationships, or contract vehicles — and operates entirely within HUD's formula-grant allocation system.

Housing Authority Of Itta Bena's federal footprint consists exclusively of HUD formula grants under two programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants provide annual subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management and administration, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, development of additional units, and management improvements. Recent Operating Fund awards include a $129,795 grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and a prior award covering January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2031. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $248,726 grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and prior awards dating to May 2024 and May 2022. All grants are formula-based allocations; HUD calculates funding using the housing authority's inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application.

Activity has remained consistent at two awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with four awards recorded in 2026. The combined dollars obligated across all thirty-seven awards in the source data total $7 million. Two awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. As a government entity, Housing Authority Of Itta Bena is not a competitor for federal contracts and does not engage federal contractors as subcontractors or team members.
