Marion Housing Authority

Marion Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Marion, Alabama, acts exclusively as a federal grant recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering formula-grant programs for public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in Marion.

Marion Housing Authority is not a federal contractor and does not hold any federal procurement vehicles. The entity's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.872 for capital funds and operating-fund programs under section 9 of the Housing Act of 1937). These are not competitive awards; allocations are calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

The Authority has received thirty-eight federal grant awards since 2006, with all funding channeled through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent grant work includes a $183,476 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, code compliance updates, and debt service on mixed-finance developments. The Authority also holds ongoing Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants awarded January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032) and January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), which fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance. Additional capital grants awarded May 13, 2025 and May 6, 2024 carry completion dates of May 12, 2029 and May 5, 2028, respectively. All eligible activities must align with the Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or be approved by HUD for emergency work, and the Authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.

Activity is modest and episodic — two awards in 2022 and 2023 each, four in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with combined dollars obligated across all thirty-eight awards totaling $4.6 million. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority does not subcontract federal work and operates as a 100% prime recipient across its entire portfolio, with zero sub-award activity. As a government entity rather than a commercial vendor, Marion Housing Authority does not hold SBA designations, compete for federal contracts, or serve as a teaming partner on procurement vehicles.
