Sevierville Housing Authority

Sevierville Housing Authority, operating as Robert Howard Village, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Sevierville, Tennessee, that receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not as a federal contractor or subcontractor — and maintains a 100% customer concentration with HUD across all 42 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 through April 2026.

The authority's grant footprint is entirely anchored to two HUD programs under CFDAs 14.850 (Public Housing Operating Fund) and 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund). Recent awards include a $169,555 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, supporting day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for public housing facilities. The authority also received a $582,330 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, funding capital and management activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, and inventory development or reconfiguration. Both grants are distributed through formula-based methodology rather than competitive application, with funding deployment restricted to eligible activities specified in 24 CFR 905.200 and either included in the authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster recovery work. The authority must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and provide accurate budget and cost records for HUD and independent auditor review throughout performance periods.

Activity has remained consistent at two awards annually over the past five years (2022–2026), with combined dollars obligated across all 42 awards totaling $17.8 million. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority operates Robert Howard Village as its primary housing asset and utilizes web-based platforms to track funding levels, occupancy rates, and families served. As a public housing authority, Sevierville Housing Authority is not positioned as a vendor for federal contractors seeking teaming arrangements, subcontractor capacity, or vehicle access; it is a direct HUD beneficiary managing public housing inventory for low-income, elderly, and family residents in Sevierville.
