Housing Authority Of Iuka

Housing Authority Of Iuka is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Iuka, Mississippi, that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents.

Housing Authority Of Iuka operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient—not as a federal contractor or subcontractor. Its entire award footprint consists of 39 formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, spanning two core federal grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA program line not explicitly numbered in source descriptions but referenced as funding day-to-day operational expenses) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The authority receives no federal contracts and places no subcontractor work; 100% of its recent awards are prime federal grants.

The authority's grant activity centers on two overlapping multiyear funding streams. Capital Fund grants support housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, utility upgrades, safety and security enhancements, and energy efficiency measures across the authority's public housing inventory, allocated on a formula basis according to unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application. Operating Fund grants provide subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, management and administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent representative awards include a $247,792 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; an Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029; and corresponding Operating Fund awards covering 2025–2031 and 2024–2030. The authority's combined obligation across all 39 awards in the source data totals $6.2 million.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), reflecting the predictable cadence of annual HUD formula grant allocations rather than project competition or award volatility. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing routine recompete cycles typical of formula-grant housing authorities.

Housing Authority Of Iuka's federal footprint is singular in customer concentration and program focus: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the authority's 39 awards and all obligated dollars. The authority operates as a recipient and administrator of federal housing funds for Iuka's low-income public housing residents, not as a vendor selling goods or services to federal agencies.
