Madison CTY Housing

Madison County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Mars Hill, North Carolina, acts as a prime recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contract prime or subcontractor activity in the source data. The Authority operates exclusively under formula grant programs and does not compete for or hold any federal contracts, GWACs, BPAs, or other contract vehicles.

Madison County Housing Authority's grant footprint centers entirely on two recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Under the Capital Fund program, the Authority receives formula grants for public housing modernization, unit acquisition and construction, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements. The Public Housing Operating Fund provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative costs. Representative Capital Fund awards include a $146,057 formula grant effective April 1, 2026 with completion by March 31, 2030, and a prior Capital Fund award with a May 13, 2025 start date and May 12, 2029 completion date. Operating Fund awards run with multi-year tenures — the most recent, effective January 1, 2026, extends through December 31, 2032. The Authority has received formula grants consistently since at least 2006, with two awards per year across the 2022–2026 period.

All 36 grants in the award history come from the single funding source: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of the Authority's federal footprint. Combined dollars obligated across the full grant history total $4.3 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or reallocation decisions in that window. As a housing authority operating public housing inventory in Madison County, the Authority's work is place-based and non-transferable — it administers federal housing funds for its own public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in North Carolina, rather than contracting for services or procuring goods as a federal contractor would. The Authority does not engage as a subrecipient of other entities' federal grants and maintains no prime contractor or subcontractor relationships in federal contracting.
