Leachville Housing Authority

Leachville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Leachville, Arkansas, operates as a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund public housing capital improvements and operating expenses for low-income residents. The authority does not compete for federal contracts; it receives direct federal grant allocations under HUD's Public Housing program.

Leachville Housing Authority receives recurring formula grants under two HUD programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides grants for public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and management enhancements under 24 CFR Part 905. The most recent capital grant, awarded April 1, 2026, carries $281,909 in potential value with completion set for March 31, 2030. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, resident supportive services, energy costs, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The most recent operating grant, awarded January 1, 2026, covers the period through December 31, 2032. Both programs are formula-based allocations calculated under HUD's established methodology rather than competitive awards; Leachville's allocation reflects its public housing inventory size within the approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide serving nearly one million units.

The authority's federal grant footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office—37 total awards across the source data window, 100% of the authority's federal activity. Combined dollars obligated total $7.5 million. Activity has been steady but modest: two awards annually in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with three in 2023. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's routine recompete cycle as capital and operating grants expire and renew under the formula allocation process.
