Neighborhood Foundations

Neighborhood Foundations, doing business as the Public Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Newport, Kentucky, 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 serving low-income residents. The entity is structured as a government agency (not a private contractor) and operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, with no contract prime or subcontractor work in the source data.

Neighborhood Foundations operates three concurrent HUD grant programs under CFDA 14.850 (Public Housing Operating Fund), CFDA 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. The Public Housing Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventive maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Recent awards include $132,584 in operating subsidy (awarded January 1, 2026, completing December 31, 2032) and $254,472 in additional operating subsidy (awarded January 1, 2026, completing December 31, 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund provides grants for public housing development, modernization, infrastructure improvements, and financing activities. A capital grant of $915,236 awarded April 1, 2026 (completing March 31, 2030) supports modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, and financing activities for Neighborhood Foundations' public housing inventory. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program funds salary and fringe benefits for coordinators who serve at minimum 25 participating families per funded FTE position in the first year of performance, increasing by 50 families per additional coordinator. Neighborhood Foundations received FSS project grants for January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.

All 141 awards in the source data flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office; customer concentration is complete (100%) with a single funding agency. Activity runs steady at approximately eight awards per year across the past five years, driven by the formulaic nature of HUD's operating and capital fund allocations to public housing authorities. Fifteen awards (all formula grants with multi-year performance periods extending into public housing stock management) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face annual or multi-year reallocation cycles. The entity has obligated $40.2 million cumulatively across all grant awards since 2006, with recent annual allocations typically ranging between $132,000 and $915,000 per individual grant based on inventory characteristics and coordinator staffing levels rather than competitive selection.
