Jellico Housing Authority

Jellico Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Jellico, Tennessee, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, maintenance, capital improvements, and modernization activities under the Housing Act of 1937. The organization is a recipient of federal grants only — not a federal contractor — and operates as a U.S. government entity (local government / housing authority) with no subcontract relationships.

Jellico Housing Authority receives recurring annual allocations under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs required under federal housing regulations. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, and code compliance work. Recent awards include a $351,421 Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), a $362,520 Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), and an Operating Fund grant (August 3, 2026 through December 31, 2030). All grants are formula-based allocations; there is no competitive application process. HUD distributes Capital and Operating Fund grants to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide serving nearly one million units and 1.59 million residents.

Jellico's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — 46 awards across the source period with $12.3 million in combined obligated dollars. The organization shows stable annual funding with two to four awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Seven awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the renewal cycle for multi-year operating and capital fund allocations. As a municipal housing authority, Jellico operates public housing inventory in Jellico, Tennessee and uses federal funds to maintain habitability and service standards for low-income residents.
