Roanoke Rapids Housing Authority

Roanoke Rapids Housing Authority, a local government entity based in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, is a public housing authority that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor or subcontractor, with no contracting vehicle participation.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards provide subsidies for 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. Capital Fund awards support housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development or reconfiguration of public housing units. Recent awards include a $322,295 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $736,385 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. The authority serves vulnerable populations including elderly residents and families with children across its public housing portfolio in Roanoke Rapids.

The authority's customer base is singular — 100% of its 41 awards derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no diversification across other federal agencies or contracting vehicles. Over the past five years, the authority has received two awards annually (2022 through 2026), reflecting the formulaic and recurring nature of HUD's operating and capital fund allocation cycles. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $20.6 million. Only two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure in that window given the formula-grant structure of HUD's public housing programs, which allocate funds automatically based on housing stock characteristics rather than through competitive procurement.
