Mississippi Regional Housing Authority

Mississippi Regional Housing Authority IV, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Columbus, Mississippi, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents across its service area.

Mississippi Regional Housing Authority IV operates exclusively as a grant recipient — 100% of its 58 awards in the source data are prime grants with no subrecipient activity. The authority's entire federal footprint derives from a single customer, HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued fifty-eight awards over the past two decades with a combined obligation of $36.6 million. Recent activity remains consistent, averaging three awards per year from 2022 through 2026. The authority receives formula grants under two primary federal programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating and maintenance subsidies for day-to-day public housing expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, modernization, development, and related construction and acquisition activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

Recent named awards include a $1,284,704 Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, funding capital and management activities through March 31, 2030; a $519,713 Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, supporting operational expenses through December 31, 2032; and a $337,217 Public Housing Operating Fund grant also awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032. Grant awards are performance-based on an approved five-year capital action plan and carry performance periods typically spanning four to seven years. Within the next twenty-four months, three awards reach ultimate completion date and will require recompetition or renewal, representing routine formula grant reallocation cycles inherent to HUD's public housing program structure.
