Plymouth Housing Authority

Plymouth Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity and municipal housing authority that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing inventory in Plymouth, North Carolina. The authority is a grant recipient, not a federal contractor, and has no involvement with federal contract vehicles, procurement, or vendor competition.

Plymouth Housing Authority operates exclusively under two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The authority has received 41 federal grants over the past two decades, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent operating fund grants include a $337,832 formula award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Recent capital fund grants include a $678,887 formula award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, which supports capital and management activities including modernization of existing public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development or reconfiguration of public housing inventory to serve low-income residents. The authority also received capital fund grants in May 2025, May 2024, and February 2023.

All 41 awards are formula allocations calculated on the basis of the authority's public housing inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, and construction costs — rather than through competitive application or procurement solicitation. The authority is 100% dependent on HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no diversification across other federal customer agencies or programs. Combined obligated dollars across the full award history total $21.1 million. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across the past five calendar years (2022 through 2026). Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore require formula grant renewal or reallocation at that juncture.
