Northwest Florida Regional Housing Authority

Northwest Florida Regional Housing Authority, doing business as NW FL Regional Housing, is a U.S. government entity—a housing authority based in Graceville, Florida—that receives formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents in the Northwest Florida region. The authority does not compete for federal contracts; it is a grant recipient, not a vendor to federal agencies, and therefore operates outside the federal procurement system.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants under two HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Recent operating fund awards carry values between $103 thousand and $179 thousand annually. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides four-year capital grants for development, modernization, and physical improvements to the authority's housing inventory. The most recent capital fund award, dated April 1, 2026, grants $1,321,945 through March 31, 2030, for construction, rehabilitation, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and other eligible activities specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan.

Customer concentration is absolute—HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office represents 100% of all 137 awards in the source data. Obligated funding across all grants totals $39.2 million over two decades of awards, with a consistent cadence of eight awards per year in recent years (2022 through 2026). Eight awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity for HUD formula distribution in that window. All awards are prime grants to the authority; the source shows no subgrant activity to lower-tier recipients.

This entity is not a federal contractor or a vendor delivering goods and services to agencies. It is a federally funded public housing agency administering affordable housing stock on behalf of HUD and the residents it serves. Federal contractors pursuing HUD opportunity should target the authority as a potential sub-recipient or implementation partner if seeking housing-authority contracts, but the authority itself does not bid on federal procurements and does not compete under set-asides or vehicles.
