Housing Authority Of The Town Of Laurinburg

Housing Authority Of The Town Of Laurinburg, a municipal government entity based in Laurinburg, North Carolina, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program coordinator positions and associated salaries and fringe benefits.

The Housing Authority operates as a prime grant recipient exclusively; it has no federal contract awards and no subcontract relationships. Its entire federal footprint consists of forty awards spanning twenty years, all drawn from a single customer agency: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The most recent award was granted January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion scheduled December 31, 2026.

The Family Self-Sufficiency Program, authorized under Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act and Section 306 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, distributes funds to approximately 800 to 900 public housing authorities and project-based rental assistance property owners nationwide. Under each FSS grant, the Housing Authority hires and retains one full-time equivalent FSS Program Coordinator per funded position. Coordinator responsibilities include enrolling and maintaining families in the program, preparing individual training and services plans with participating families, and building community partnerships with employers and service providers. The Housing Authority must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for the first coordinator position, with that minimum increasing by 50 families for each additional funded coordinator. Over a five- to seven-year participation period, FSS families are expected to achieve employment, increase wages, and meet individual self-sufficiency goals.

Recent awards span calendar years 2022 through 2026, with one annual award per year. Combined obligated dollars across all forty awards total $22 million over the twenty-year history. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a single recompete opportunity in that window. The Housing Authority has no federal contracting vehicle presence, no prime federal contracts, and no role as a contractor or subcontractor on civilian or defense programs.
