Norton Redevelopment & Housing Authority

Norton Redevelopment & Housing Authority, doing business as Regency Towers Apartments, is a local government housing authority based in Norton, Virginia that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and maintain public housing serving the Norton area. The organization is a U.S. government entity and acts solely as a prime grant recipient; it holds no federal contracts and engages in no subcontracting.

The Authority's entire federal footprint consists of formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses. The most recent operating fund award, dated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, supports ongoing operations and minimum operating reserves. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances capital-intensive modernization, infrastructure improvements, facility upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that enhance the physical condition of the Authority's public housing units, including energy efficiency improvements and management improvements as specified in the Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan. Recent capital fund awards include a $797,441 grant dated April 1, 2026 with ultimate completion March 31, 2030, and an earlier grant dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029.

The Authority has received 40 federal grant awards since 2006, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with a combined obligation of $20.1 million. Activity has been consistent at two awards per year across 2022 through 2026. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. The Authority has no prime contract vehicles, no subcontracting relationships, and no customer agency concentration beyond HUD — all 40 awards are HUD formula grants delivered to serve lower-income residents in the Norton, Virginia public housing portfolio.
