Lafollette Housing Authority

Lafollette Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer and operate low-income public housing in LaFollette, Tennessee, serving families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) under two formula-grant programs with no federal contracting or subcontracting activity.

Lafollette Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of recurring formula grants under two HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides day-to-day operational and maintenance funding, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Recent operating-fund awards include grants of $546,633, $343,505, $325,336, and $314,009, all effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital improvements, modernization, development, and infrastructure upgrades to the authority's housing inventory. The most recent capital-fund award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, carried a potential value of $3.61 million; an earlier capital-fund grant dated May 13, 2025, ran through May 12, 2029.

The authority's funding concentration is absolute: 100 percent of 99 awards over the past five years came from the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office. Activity remains flat at five awards annually across 2022 through 2026. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete or renewal activity for those operating-period grants. All work is performed in LaFollette, Tennessee, and the authority maintains inventory data in HUD's Information Management System while complying with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and undergoing HUD and independent auditor review.
