Monette Housing Authority

Monette Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Monette, Arkansas, is a recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund programs. As a government entity rather than a for-profit contractor, Monette Housing Authority operates as a prime grant recipient (100% of awards) and does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

Monette Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula-based grants allocated by HUD to support affordable-housing capital improvements and operating expenses for low-income residents. The authority has received ten tracked grant awards from HUD since 2022, all from the Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated of $3.3 million. Representative grants include a Public Housing Capital Fund award of $153,518 issued April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030, and an earlier Capital Fund award issued May 6, 2024, with completion by May 5, 2028. The authority also receives ongoing Public Housing Operating Fund allocations to support day-to-day operational, maintenance, and administrative expenses; an Operating Fund award issued January 1, 2026, carries completion through December 31, 2032. Eligible activities under these grants include housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security programs, management and administrative costs, and debt service on public housing developments. Work must be specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work, with compliance required under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Award activity has remained flat at approximately two awards per year across the period 2022 through 2026. Two grants carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. As a formula-grant recipient rather than a competitive-award holder, Monette Housing Authority does not face recompete pressure in the traditional sense; HUD allocates Capital Fund and Operating Fund grants to all eligible public housing agencies on a formula basis tied to inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The authority serves a single customer agency — HUD — and generates no subcontract or teaming revenue from its federal footprint.
