Jackson Housing Authority

Jackson Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to administer public housing modernization, operating subsidies, and family self-sufficiency programs serving Jackson residents. The authority operates solely as a grant recipient and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; it competes for and manages federal formula and project grants rather than procuring goods or services as a vendor to the federal government.

Jackson Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants flowing from the Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 77 of 81 total awards in the source data, with the remaining four awards routed through HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner. The authority serves as a prime recipient on all 81 awards; there are no sub-awards or sub-recipient relationships. Grant programs include the Public Housing Operating Fund (formula grants funding day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative implementation), the Public Housing Capital Fund (formula grants supporting modernization, development, and management improvements of housing units), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (project grants funding FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to serve families in public housing, housing choice vouchers, and project-based rental assistance). Representative awards span from May 2022 through April 2026, with ultimate completion dates extending through 2032.

Activity has held steady at four awards per year from 2022 through 2026, generating $20 million in combined obligated dollars across the full award history in the source data. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering renewal applications or recompete cycles under HUD's formula and project grant processes. The authority's grant portfolio is concentrated in long-term formula grants (seven-to-eight-year terms for operating funds and capital funds) and annual or multi-year project grants tied to FSS coordinator staffing levels and participant enrollment minimums. Jackson Housing Authority does not pursue federal contracts, IDIQs, or vehicle positions; its role is limited to HUD grant administration for its service area.
