Waldron Housing Authority

Waldron Housing Authority, a non-profit public housing agency based in Waldron, Arkansas, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operating expenses serving low-income residents. The Authority is a prime recipient of HUD grants exclusively—41 awards across the past decade with no subcontract activity—and operates as a formula-grant recipient rather than a competitive-procurement participant.

Waldron Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent grant awards include a $268,025 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, extending through December 31, 2032, covering day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative overhead; and a prior Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029. All capital funding is allocable only to activities specified in the Authority's approved 5-year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work, as defined in 24 CFR Part 905, and all obligations comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The Authority maintains inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and submits annual certifications documenting proper stewardship of federal resources.

Customer concentration is absolute and singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office represents 100% of awards (41 grants) and obligated dollars. Grant activity has remained flat at two awards annually from 2022 through 2026. Four awards currently obligated reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the Authority's primary grant-renewal and reapplication cycle. The Authority does not pursue or hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or competitive procurement vehicles; its federal relationship is purely formula-grant receipt for public housing operations and capital activities as one of approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide.
