Marianna Housing Authority

Marianna Housing Authority, a local government housing authority headquartered in Marianna, Florida, operates as a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering formula-based grants for public housing capital improvements and operational subsidies serving low-income residents in North Florida.

Marianna Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity structured as a public housing authority and does not hold federal contracts or subcontract positions — its federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grant awards as a prime recipient. The authority's customer base is singular: all 37 recent awards derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100% of its federal funding sources and combined obligated dollars of $8.3 million across the portfolio.

The authority's grant work centers on two core HUD programs under CFDA 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund) and CFDA 14.850 (Public Housing Operating Fund). Capital Fund awards, issued as formula grants on a multi-year cycle, support public housing modernization, development, construction and acquisition of additional units, infrastructure improvements, and significant reconfigurations of existing inventory in compliance with 24 CFR Part 905. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $244,452 grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a prior $250,000 Safety and Security Emergency grant awarded June 20, 2024 for crime and drug-related safety measures; and awards dated May 13, 2025, May 6, 2024, February 17, 2023, and May 12, 2022 supporting capital activities across multiple performance periods. Operating Fund grants, structured as longer-duration formula subsidies, fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent Operating Fund grants include a $149,710 award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and prior awards dated January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031, and January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2030. All grants comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD-approved five-year action plans.

Activity has been steady but modest — two awards annually in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026; three in 2024 — with two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and entering recompete or renewal cycles. The authority's role is exclusively as a direct HUD grant recipient managing its local public housing portfolio; it does not compete for or hold prime federal contracts and carries no subcontractor relationships in federal procurement.
