Lineville Housing Authority

Lineville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Lineville, Alabama, is a public housing authority that acts as the prime recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and day-to-day operations of public housing units serving low-income residents, elderly persons, and families with children.

Lineville Housing Authority has received 59 federal formula grants since 2006, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined obligation totaling $19.2 million. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontractor awards. The grant portfolio consists entirely of awards under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds routine maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and other capital projects specified in the authority's five-year action plan. Recent awards include a $595,621 Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $254,056 Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), both formula allocations calculated by HUD based on the authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through competitive selection. Lineville Housing Authority participates in HUD's nationwide Public Housing Capital Fund program serving approximately 2,770 housing authorities and the Operating Fund program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities across the United States.

The authority's award activity has remained steady at three grants per year over the past five years, with four awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. All funding flows from a single customer agency (HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office), with no involvement in federal contracting, subcontracting, or multi-agency work. The authority's operational focus is internal housing management and capital asset maintenance rather than service delivery as a government contractor or vendor to other federal agencies.
