Maryville Housing Authority

Maryville Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Maryville, Tennessee, is a recipient of federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) supporting public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident services. As a U.S. local government entity structured as a public housing authority, Maryville does not compete for federal contracts; it receives formula-based and project grants distributed directly by HUD to Public Housing Agencies nationwide.

The authority's federal footprint centers on two recurring HUD grant programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs. Maryville received a $358,326 operating fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports modernization, development of additional units, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs. Maryville's most recent capital fund award of $1.182 million runs from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. Both are formula-based programs: operating funds are allocated to approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationwide, while capital funds distribute to approximately 2,770 agencies, with amounts determined by each agency's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application.

HUD accounts for virtually all of Maryville's federal grant activity. Across 49 total awards dating to 2006, the Public and Indian Housing Office placed 46 awards (94% of the portfolio). The authority received one project grant from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control for radon testing and mitigation in public housing units (awarded April 1, 2024, completion April 1, 2027), and one from the Public and Indian Housing Office under the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative (awarded June 1, 2023, completion May 31, 2026). Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $33.8 million. Award volume has declined year over year, from four awards in 2022 to two in 2026, reflecting the cyclical nature of formula-grant renewals rather than new competitive awards. Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating renewal points on the operating and capital fund schedules.
