Rockwood Housing Authority

Rockwood Housing Authority, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Rockwood, Tennessee, receives federal formula grants 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 serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two primary HUD programs and does not pursue federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

Rockwood Housing Authority's entire federal footprint derives from two formula-grant programs administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies for day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides multi-year capital grants for modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of public housing units, allocated according to a formula based on the characteristics of the authority's inventory such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Recent grants include a $368,003 Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $136,062 Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029. All work is performed in Rockwood, Tennessee, serving the authority's public housing inventory.

Rockwood Housing Authority's award activity has remained stable at two grants per year across 2022 through 2026, with a combined dollars obligated of $10.8 million across forty awards spanning from July 2006 to April 2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require reapplication under HUD's formula process. The organization's customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards fund HUD Public and Indian Housing Office programs — reflecting the organization's exclusive mission as a public housing agency.
