Housing Authority Of The City Of Greenwood

Housing Authority Of The City Of Greenwood, doing business as Greenwood Housing Authority Business Services, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to manage and operate affordable housing for low-income residents in Greenwood, Mississippi.

Greenwood Housing Authority is structured as a municipal housing authority under the purview of the City of Greenwood. Its sole customer agency across its entire federal award footprint is HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, from which it holds 59 prime grant awards spanning the past twenty years with combined dollars obligated of $41.4 million. The authority does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; all federal funding flows through HUD grant programs. Recent grants include a $1,384,612 formula award under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements; a $500,360 formula award under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses; and a $472,992 operating fund grant under the same CFDA covering January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Earlier capital-fund awards include a grant effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029 and a prior capital-fund grant effective May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2028. All grants fund eligible activities consistent with 24 CFR Part 905 and the Housing Act of 1937, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, resident supportive services, and debt service.

The authority's award activity has remained flat across recent years — three awards annually from 2022 through 2026 — with three grants reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority operates as a 100% prime recipient with no subcontract or sub-recipient engagement in its federal footprint. Its work is localized to Greenwood's public housing portfolio serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities within municipal jurisdiction.
