The Housing Authority Of The City Of Mcgehee

The Housing Authority Of The City Of Mcgehee, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in McGehee, Arkansas, is a federal grant recipient operating public housing programs under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives formula and project grants exclusively from HUD for public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident self-sufficiency initiatives — it does not hold federal contracts and operates as a prime recipient only, with no subcontractor relationships.

The Housing Authority Of The City Of Mcgehee's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (100% of 49 awards since 2006). The authority receives recurring grants across three core HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS). Recent awards include a $174,428 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including infrastructure modernization, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional public housing units; a $104,267 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant running through December 31, 2032 for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime and security initiatives, and resident supportive services; and project grants under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) to fund FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits for enrollment, individual training and services plan development, and employer partnership building. Capital Fund awards require expenditures to comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and must align with the authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan.

Activity has been flat and cyclical at approximately three awards per year over the past five years, with five awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all 49 awards total $9.5 million, reflecting the authority's scale as a small-to-mid-sized public housing provider serving McGehee's lower-income residents. The authority's federal relationship is a direct grant recipient model with no federal contracting vehicles, no prime contractor roles, and no subcontractor exposure — competitive dynamics are determined by HUD's formula allocation methodology and project-grant selection criteria rather than open procurement.
