Lafayette Housing Authority

Lafayette Housing Authority is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity based in Lafayette, Tennessee, that serves as a public housing agency responsible for managing and operating public housing units for low-income residents. Registered with SAM.gov since June 2005, the organization operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and receives ongoing federal grant support from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through its Public and Indian Housing Office to fulfill its mission of providing affordable housing and related services to eligible families in its jurisdiction.

Lafayette Housing Authority has consistently received formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office in two primary program categories over the past several years. The organization has been awarded multiple Public Housing Operating Fund grants, with recent awards dated January 1, 2026, January 1, 2025, January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2023, which provide operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation expenses.
