Parsons-Decaturville Housing Authority

Parsons-Decaturville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Parsons, Tennessee, receives federal grants as a recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, maintenance, and capital improvements in its service area.

The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under two formula-grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.870) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). These are not competitive awards; they are formula-based allocations calculated according to established criteria reflecting the authority's public housing inventory characteristics, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Operating Fund grants support day-to-day expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure modernization, code compliance improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs. Recent awards include a $205,198 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with completion by May 12, 2029; and a Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024 with completion by May 5, 2028.

Parsons-Decaturville Housing Authority's customer base is singular: 100% of its 36 recent awards come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority has received two awards annually over the past five years (2022–2026), with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $5.9 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering potential formula-grant reallocation cycles. The authority operates under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintains inventory data in HUD's Information Management System while performing required audits in conjunction with regular public housing agency operations audits.
