Lincolnton Housing Authority

Lincolnton Housing Authority, a local government entity headquartered in Lincolnton, North Carolina, receives federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and operating expenses for public housing serving low-income residents. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a federal contractor — with all thirty-six awards in the source portfolio funded through HUD formula grants under two primary federal grant programs.

The authority's grant footprint divides between two complementary HUD programs. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the authority receives formula grants for capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to its housing inventory. Recent capital grants include $872,551 awarded April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), $447,624 awarded May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and $522,600 awarded May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028). Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the authority receives separate operating grants to fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs necessary to maintain adequate service delivery. Recent operating grants include $447,624 awarded January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032) and $459,341 awarded January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031). All awards flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office as formula-based allocations reflecting the authority's established inventory of public housing units and calculated according to HUD's standardized formula incorporating factors such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

Activity has remained flat across the past five years at two awards annually, with combined dollars obligated totaling $26 million across the thirty-six-award portfolio spanning 2006 to present. Two awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months face renewal or recompete in that window. The authority serves a vulnerable population including 44% elderly residents and 35% families with children and is subject to uniform federal administrative requirements, including maintenance of comprehensive budget and cost records for HUD and independent auditor review throughout each performance period.
