Rowan County Housing Authority

Rowan County Housing Authority, doing business as Rowan County Housing, is a U.S. local government housing authority headquartered in Salisbury, North Carolina, that operates as the prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities in Rowan County. The authority does not hold federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles; it operates exclusively under HUD formula and project grants for public housing operations, capital improvements, and family economic self-sufficiency programs.

Rowan County Housing's federal award footprint spans three distinct HUD grant programs, all administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the authority received a formula grant of $470,590 effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the authority holds formula grants supporting public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and management enhancements; the most recent award of $401,702 runs April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, with prior awards dated May 2024, May 2025, February 2023, and May 2022. Under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), the authority received $152,000 for calendar year 2026 (January 1 through December 31, 2026) to fund FSS Program Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits, enabling enrollment, individual training and services planning, employer partnership development, and employment outcome support for low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and project-based rental assistance; prior FSS awards span 2022 through 2025 with annual or calendar-year performance periods.

Customer concentration is absolute: all 52 awards across the entire source dataset derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing a single-agency footprint with $25.5 million in combined obligated dollars. Activity has remained flat at three awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026). Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and thus enter recompete exposure. The authority operates these grants independently without identified sub-award partners; all funding flows directly from HUD. Place of performance is Salisbury, North Carolina.
