Brent Housing Authority

Brent Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority headquartered in Brent, Alabama, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies, functioning as a prime recipient with no subcontractor involvement across its federal footprint.

Brent Housing Authority's federal grant portfolio concentrates entirely on two HUD programs under the Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives recurring awards under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital and management activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional housing units in accordance with HUD-approved five-year action plans. Recent capital fund awards include a $235,404 formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a prior award dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029, and earlier allocations dating back to May 6, 2024 and February 17, 2023. The authority also receives formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund, which provides operating subsidies to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management and administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent operating fund awards carry completion dates through December 31, 2032 (awarded January 1, 2026) and December 31, 2031 (awarded January 1, 2025), with prior awards extending back to January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2023.

Brent Housing Authority's customer concentration is singular — 100% of awards (41 total, combined $6.6 million obligated) fund HUD Public and Indian Housing Office programs. The authority operates as a prime recipient exclusively; no sub-recipient arrangements appear in the source. Activity is consistent at two awards per year across the past five years (2022 through 2026). Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing recurring formula-grant funding to potential recompete or renewal processes typical of HUD housing authority allocations. All work is performed locally in Brent, Alabama, serving low-income residents including elderly individuals, persons with disabilities, and families with children through public housing portfolio management and capital improvements funded under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and 24 CFR Part 905 regulations.
