Newbern Housing Authority

Newbern Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Newbern, Tennessee, is a federal grant recipient administering public housing capital and operating fund programs under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no subcontract activity and serves a single federal customer — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — across formula grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) programs.

Newbern Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants supporting public housing modernization, development, operational maintenance, and management activities. Recent awards include a $498,374 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 for capital and management activities including construction, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and related financing to improve and expand the authority's public housing inventory; a $164,382 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, and resident supportive services; and prior-year capital fund awards dated May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028), May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and February 17, 2023 (completion February 16, 2027). The authority also holds concurrent operating fund awards with completion dates through December 31, 2030, 2031, and 2032. All 42 awards in the portfolio fund public housing activities serving low-income residents in Newbern, with combined dollars obligated totaling $12.6 million across the award history.

Activity shows a steady cadence of two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The authority has no prime federal contract work and no subcontractor relationships; its federal engagement is limited to HUD formula grant administration under the Public and Indian Housing program office, making it a grant recipient entity rather than a contracting vendor or service provider to federal agencies.
