Housing Authority Of City Bald Knob

Housing Authority Of City Bald Knob, doing business as Public Housing, is a U.S. local government entity and municipal housing authority that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements in Bald Knob, Arkansas. The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) with no federal contracting footprint—it neither holds nor seeks contracts as a prime or subcontractor.

The Housing Authority's federal funding derives entirely from two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.866), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, management, security, energy, and resident services across the agency's public housing inventory, and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports capital modernization, infrastructure rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional public housing units. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $122,237 formula grant running from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and earlier awards spanning from May 2024 through May 2028 and February 2023 through February 2027. Operating Fund awards cover periods from January 2022 through December 2028 and January 2025 through December 2031, among others. All funding flows directly to the Housing Authority as the prime recipient; no sub-awardees or subcontractors are documented in the award portfolio.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute—the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for all 40 awards documented in the recent portfolio, reflecting the mandatory federal funding structure for public housing agencies nationwide. Activity is consistent at approximately two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026), with two awards approaching completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2.8 million. The Housing Authority's federal relationship is a recipient status under the formalized public housing system serving approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide; it does not compete for federal contracts, hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or engage in procurement activities. This posture positions the Housing Authority as an end-use grantee rather than a federal vendor or service provider.
