Linden Housing Authority

Linden Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Linden, Alabama, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime recipient to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, development, and day-to-day operating expenses serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction.

Linden Housing Authority is a municipal housing authority operating under 24 CFR Part 905, with no federal contract footprint and no subcontractor relationships — all 41 awards in the source data are prime federal grants received directly from HUD. The Authority's entire federal funding stream (100% of recent awards, $5.4 million combined dollars obligated) flows through two recurring HUD formula-grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). These are entitlement grants allocated by HUD using formula calculations based on the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, occupancy — rather than competitive application. Capital Fund grants support modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional public housing units within the Authority's approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work. Operating Fund grants 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 debt service.

Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant of $158,712 effective April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), and earlier Capital Fund grants on May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029) and May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028); paired with Public Housing Operating Fund grants on January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), and January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030). The Authority receives formula allocations on a predictable annual cycle — two awards per year in recent years — with no recompete exposure. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, though the award pattern reflects rolling renewal of these formula-based entitlements rather than competitive recompete events.
