Mississippi Regional Housing

Mississippi Regional Housing Authority NO. II Division, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Oxford, Mississippi, operates as a prime recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program to fund coordinator salaries and fringe benefits for low-income family employment and self-sufficiency services.

The authority's federal footprint is singular and recurring. All ten awards in the source data derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no subcontract involvement or non-HUD customer agencies. The authority has received consecutive annual FSS grants beginning in 2023 and running through 2026, each awarded on January 1 and completing on December 31 of the respective calendar year. Under these grants, the authority hires and retains full-time-equivalent FSS Program Coordinators responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, preparing individual training and services plans, and building partnerships with employers and service providers in the community. Participating families are required to maintain minimum enrollment thresholds — at least 25 families for the first coordinator position and an additional 50 families per coordinator thereafter — with expected outcomes centered on employment gains and wage improvement over five to seven years of program participation.

The authority's award volume reflects the recurring-grant pattern characteristic of the FSS program: one award per year from 2023 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated across all ten awards totaling $379 thousand. One award (the 2026 grant, completion date December 31, 2026) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore faces potential recompete. The authority does not compete for federal contracts, sit on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or engage in subcontracting roles.
