Housing Authority Of The City Of Raleigh North Carolina

Housing Authority Of The City Of Raleigh North Carolina, doing business as Raleigh Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund public housing operations, modernization, and capital improvements. The authority does not pursue federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

The authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Of 331 total awards in the source data spanning 2006 through April 2026, 330 are Operating Fund or Capital Fund formula grants (100% prime recipient). Operating Fund grants, awarded annually on January 1 with seven-year performance periods running through December 31, fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund grants, awarded on staggered dates with four- to five-year performance periods, support public housing modernization, development, rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades as specified in the authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan. Recent Capital Fund awards include $3.867 million obligated April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030, and $3.254 million obligated May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029. Operating Fund awards in 2026 range from $102,978 to $452,200 per tranche, with multiple small allocations per calendar year; awards from prior cycles such as those obligated January 1, 2025, extending through December 31, 2031, reflect the seven-year commitment structure.

Activity has remained steady at approximately 13 awards per year from 2023 through 2026, following a higher volume of 20 awards in 2022 and 13 in 2023. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $166.8 million. Eighteen awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent a recompete exposure window. The source records only one award to a second HUD component—the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development—suggesting the Operating Fund and Capital Fund programs account for substantially all of the authority's federal funding footprint. The authority operates as a sole recipient with no subcontractor or sub-recipient role; all awards are direct HUD-to-authority grants under formula-based allocation methodologies rather than competitive solicitation.
