Manchester Housing Authority

Manchester Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Manchester, Tennessee, is a recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating as a public housing agency that administers capital and operating funds for public housing serving low-income residents.

Manchester Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants distributed under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The Authority receives no federal contracts and operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no subcontract activity. Over the past several years, the Authority has received a consistent two awards annually — a capital fund grant and an operating fund grant — across a combined obligation of $5.8 million. The most recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant of $207,736 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Capital funds support public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and management enhancements under 24 CFR Part 905 and the Authority's approved five-year action plan. Operating funds cover day-to-day expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs.

All 41 awards in the source data derive from a single customer agency: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. This concentration reflects the statutory structure of formula-based public housing funding, which distributes annually to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide managing nearly one million public housing units across all fifty states and territories. Manchester Housing Authority's awards are calculated through HUD's established formulas rather than competitive processes, with allocation based on inventory characteristics including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Two awards are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete or continuation cycles under the formula-grant mechanism. The Authority maintains compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and must keep accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System to remain eligible for continued funding.
