Housing Authority Of Martin

Housing Authority Of Martin, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Martin, Kentucky, operates as a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contract prime or sub work in the source record.

The Housing Authority of Martin receives federal funding exclusively through two HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies capital grant funding for modernization, development, and management improvements to the Housing Authority's public housing inventory, with eligible uses including infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, property development, and financing activities. Recent formula grant awards include a $335,563 capital fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $120,422 operating fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). The Housing Authority receives formula-based allocations calculated using established metrics reflecting its public housing inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application processes.

Across the past five years, the Housing Authority has received fifty-eight federal awards totaling $10.7 million in combined obligated dollars, all as a grant recipient (100% of awards) and all from a single customer agency — the Public and Indian Housing Office. Activity has remained modest and steady, averaging roughly three awards per year since 2022. Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The Housing Authority operates as a pure grant recipient with no role as a prime or sub contractor on federal contracts and no participation in government-wide acquisition vehicles or interagency contract mechanisms.
