Northport Housing Authority

Northport Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Northport, Alabama, receives federal grant funding exclusively from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing portfolio. The authority acts as the prime recipient on all federal awards (123 grants totaling $53 million obligated) and does not serve as a subrecipient or contractor to other federal primes.

Northport Housing Authority's federal grant footprint is entirely concentrated within HUD's public housing programs. The authority is recipient on recurring formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides annual operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation costs. Operating Fund grants span multi-year periods; recent awards include a $434,483 formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and prior awards running through December 31, 2031 and 2030. The authority also receives capital funding through the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), a formula grant program supporting public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and related eligible activities. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $1,334,208 formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a $504,260 award (January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2032), and earlier allocations running through 2029 and 2027. The authority received a $5 million project grant under the Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.888) in September 2023 (award date September 8, 2023, completion September 7, 2027) to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint and other housing-related hazards including carbon monoxide and mold in its public housing units through risk assessments, inspections, abatement, interim controls, and clearance examinations. A $2,074,999 Capital Fund formula grant (September 8, 2023 to September 7, 2027) supports modernization and capital improvements including major renovations, new construction, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure work.

Activity has remained stable at eight awards per year across the 2022–2026 period. Eight awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete. The authority's federal customer base is monolithic—100 percent of awards fund HUD Public and Indian Housing Office programs. All grants are formula-based allocations to a single local government entity operating low-income public housing serving elderly residents, families with children, and persons with disabilities in Northport, Alabama, under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 905.
