Robeson County Housing Authority

Robeson County Housing Authority (RCHA), headquartered in Lumberton, North Carolina, is a local government housing authority registered as a U.S. Government Entity that serves as a prime recipient of federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The organization operates as a county housing authority and is responsible for administering and managing public housing programs that provide affordable housing solutions for low-income residents in Robeson County. Through its federal grant relationships, RCHA delivers comprehensive housing services and supportive programs designed to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing stock while addressing the operational and capital needs of public housing throughout its service area.

RCHA's federal grant portfolio demonstrates substantial involvement in HUD's core public housing programs, with the vast majority of funding flowing through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization receives recurring formula grants from the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses. Recent awards in this program include $296,125 and $225,922 in formula grants awarded in January 2026 for operations through 2032. Additionally, RCHA receives substantial capital funding through the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), including a $1,130,638 grant awarded in May 2025 for the performance period through May 2029, which supports modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management improvements across the housing authority's portfolio. Beyond core operating and capital programs, RCHA has also served as a prime grantee for specialized HUD initiatives including the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS), which funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support resident employment and self-sufficiency goals; the Family Unification Program, awarded in May 2021; and the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, awarded in June 2023. The organization's federal funding history reflects a consistent, multi-year engagement with HUD housing programs, with no subcontractor relationships identified in the available award data, indicating that RCHA serves as the direct administrator and implementer of all funded activities.
