Housing Authority Of Lake Providence

Housing Authority Of Lake Providence, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Lake Providence, Louisiana, receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident services. The authority operates as a prime recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office programs and does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

The Housing Authority's federal grant portfolio is narrowly concentrated: all 41 awards in the source data derive from a single customer agency, HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with a combined obligated value of $14 million across multiple program streams. The authority receives recurring formula grants under three primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides day-to-day operational subsidies for property management, routine maintenance, anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure repairs, and development activities; and a project grant under the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative (awarded June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2027) focused on resident employment and economic opportunity. Recent capital fund awards include a $449,476 formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $325,100 formula grant (March 11, 2026 through March 10, 2028) supporting modernization and emergency repairs. The operating fund award ($260,960, January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) funds day-to-day expenses for low-income households, with 44% of the national program's residents elderly and 35% having children.

Activity remains steady at two to three awards annually over the past five years. Six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal opportunities. The authority operates under HUD's formula-based allocation methodology, whereby funding reflects the size and age of its public housing inventory rather than competitive application, and must comply with HUD financial reporting and 2 CFR 200 audit requirements.
