Housing Authority Town Of Jonesboro

Housing Authority Town Of Jonesboro, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Jonesboro, Louisiana, receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and day-to-day operations of its public housing portfolio. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850).

The authority's award footprint is singular in customer concentration — all 40 awards in the source record flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization has received $16.2 million in combined federal obligation across the source data window, with recent grants including a $548,270 Public Housing Capital Fund formula award obligated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030) for capital and management activities including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and management enhancements to public housing units; and a $294,305 Public Housing Operating Fund formula award obligated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032) for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, and resident supportive services. Capital funds may be applied to property development, acquisition, modernization, management improvements, and financing costs in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905 and the authority's approved capital plan. Operating funds support management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime, anti-drug and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and obligate funds prior to the deadline.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore face re-obligations or recompete activity in that window. The authority serves low-income residents, including elderly residents and families with children, across its public housing inventory in Jonesboro.
