Truman Housing Authority

Trumann Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Trumann, Arkansas, is a formula grant recipient receiving annual operating and capital improvement funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing programs serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction.

Trumann Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, not as a contractor. The entity receives two recurring formula grant awards under HUD's Public Housing programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) providing day-to-day operational and maintenance subsidies, and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) funding modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development activities. Recent awards include a $1,214,634 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a $460,611 Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Operating Fund resources support property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. Capital Fund resources support physical improvements to existing units, acquisition or development of additional inventory, emergency repairs, and financing costs for public housing developments, with eligible activities specified in Trumann's approved 5-year action plan.

Trumann Housing Authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (100% of 40 awards, $33.2 million combined obligated dollars). The entity has received formula grants continuously since at least 2006, with two awards issued in each of the past five calendar years. The award pattern is stable and predictable: Trumann receives one Operating Fund award per calendar year (running through multi-year periods) and one Capital Fund award per cycle (typically spanning four-year periods). Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, triggering routine reallocation or renewal through HUD's formula-grant processes rather than competitive recompete.
