Lee County Redevelopment & Housing Authority

Lee County Redevelopment & Housing Authority is a local government housing authority based in Jonesville, Virginia that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, operating expenses, and emergency safety and security work across its local inventory.

The Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of its 42 awards are prime grants, with no subcontract or subgrant activity), and all funding flows from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority is a U.S. local government entity classified as a Housing Authority, with no involvement in federal contracting, IDVs, or GWACs. Its role is to administer formula-based allocation awards under CFDA 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund) and related operating-fund programs, not to compete for or deliver contracted services to federal agencies.

The Authority's recent grant portfolio centers on three recurring HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (most recent awards dated April 1, 2026, May 13, 2025, and May 6, 2024) funds capital and management activities including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to Lee County's public housing units, with funding periods typically spanning four to five years. The Public Housing Operating Fund (most recent awards dated January 1, 2026, and January 1, 2025, extending through 2031–2032) supports day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services. The Authority also received an Emergency Safety and Security set-aside grant on June 20, 2024 (ultimate completion December 19, 2026), a one-time assistance award capped at $250,000 to address safety and security emergencies.

Activity is modest and flat. The Authority received two awards in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026, reflecting the regular rhythm of HUD's formula-grant allocation cycles rather than competitive pursuit. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-two awards total $6.4 million. Five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require recertification or reallocation under HUD's formula methodology. The Authority has no sub-award relationships and does not serve as a vendor, contractor, or subcontractor to federal agencies; it is a direct recipient of HUD formula grants for the administration and maintenance of local public housing stock serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and vulnerable populations in Lee County.
