Jellico Housing Authority

Jellico Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Jellico, Tennessee, is a federal grant recipient that administers HUD formula grants for public housing capital improvements and operational subsidies serving low-income residents in its service area. The entity operates exclusively as a prime recipient — 100% of its 45 federal awards are grants rather than contracts — and draws all funding from a single customer: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Jellico Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula-based grants under two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) awards support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, and code compliance work to maintain and enhance public housing inventory. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides day-to-day operational and maintenance subsidies, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation costs. Recent awards include a $362,520 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a $234,512 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Combined obligated dollars across all 45 awards total $12.1 million, reflecting the formula-grant structure in which allocations are determined by HUD's standard calculation methodologies rather than competitive procurement.

Activity has remained flat across the past five years — two awards each in 2024, 2025, and 2026, following four awards annually in 2022 and 2023 — consistent with the annual cycle of HUD's formula grant reallocation. Eight awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the reallocation cycle for those grants as they roll into successor periods. Because Jellico Housing Authority operates solely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing program and holds no contract prime awards or parent vehicles such as GWACs or IDIQs, the entity has no relevance as a teaming partner, sub-vendor, or contract vehicle for federal contractors pursuing civilian or defense work outside HUD's housing programs.
