Milan Housing Authority

Milan Housing Authority, doing business as Milan Housing Auth, is a U.S. government housing authority entity based in Milan, Tennessee that receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units. The authority does not hold federal contracts; it operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund programs.

Milan Housing Auth's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants supporting day-to-day operations and capital improvements for public housing. The authority has received ten awards over the past several years, all from the Public and Indian Housing Office. Current active grants include a $317,850 Public Housing Capital Fund award (April 2026 through March 2030) supporting modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of public housing units; a Public Housing Operating Fund award running through December 2032 (effective January 2026) funding operational and maintenance expenses, management costs, routine and preventative maintenance, security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services; and an earlier Public Housing Capital Fund award (May 2024 through May 2028). Prior to these, the authority received capital and operating grants in 2023, 2022, and earlier years, establishing a consistent two-awards-per-year pattern across both fund types.

The authority's grant activity is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office—100% of its forty total awards. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $7.9 million, reflecting the formula-grant structure where awards are allocated to eligible housing authorities based on statutory criteria rather than competitive procurement. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require reapplication under HUD's annual formula-grant cycle. Milan Housing Auth operates as part of the broader network of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units, and its grant work centers on the eligible activities specified in 24 CFR 905.200—capital development, modernization, financing, management improvements, and operational reserves for low-income residents in Tennessee.
