Mammoth Spring Housing Authority

Mammoth Spring Housing Authority (Mammoth Spring Housing Division), a U.S. government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund programs. The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient — not as a contractor or subcontractor — and has received all 38 federal awards in its portfolio from a single customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The authority's federal grant footprint is composed entirely of two recurring HUD formula-grant programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital improvement and modernization funding for public housing development, modernization, management improvements, and eligible activities under 24 CFR Part 905. Recent Capital Fund awards include grants dated May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029), May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028), and February 17, 2023 (completion February 16, 2027). The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, resident supportive services, energy costs, insurance, and debt service. Recent Operating Fund awards include grants dated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), and January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030). Both programs are formula grants distributed to approximately 2,770 and 6,000 housing authorities respectively across all fifty states and territories, with no discretionary or competitive component in Mammoth Spring's award history.

Activity has remained steady at two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026), with a combined dollars obligated of $1.6 million across the full thirty-eight-award portfolio. Two awards are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting routine recompete cycle points typical of annual formula-grant administration. The authority operates as a standalone public housing provider with no recorded federal contract vehicles, no prime contract awards, and no subcontractor relationships in the federal procurement base.
