Memphis Housing Authority

Memphis Housing Authority, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, receives federal housing operating subsidies and capital improvement grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a formula-grant recipient, not as a federal contractor. The Authority operates as a prime recipient on all federal awards in its portfolio, with no federal contract prime awardees and no subcontractor role in federal programs.

Memphis Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.871) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund provides day-to-day operational subsidies for housing maintenance, management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Capital Fund finances public housing development, modernization, and management improvements, including construction and acquisition of additional units, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency enhancements, as specified in the Authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan. Recent awards include a $123,581 Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), an Operating Fund allocation (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), and prior Capital Fund allocations running through 2029 and 2028 respectively. The Authority has received ten federal awards across the past four years, with two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, yielding $3.6 million in combined dollars obligated. Customer concentration is absolute — all thirty-nine awards in the portfolio source from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, and the Authority has no relationship with other federal agencies or federal contractors as a prime or subcontractor.

Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete-eligible formula-grant allocations. As a public housing agency operating under the Housing Act of 1937, Memphis Housing Authority maintains Uniform Administrative Requirements compliance and must track inventory data, occupancy rates, and family service metrics through HUD's web-based platforms.
