Smithville Housing Authority

Smithville Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity headquartered in Smithville, Tennessee, is a formula-grant recipient of federal housing operating and capital funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.850 and 14.872), receiving recurring annual allocations to maintain and improve its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient of federal grants with no subcontract activity and no involvement in federal contracting vehicles.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office formula grants across two primary program streams. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring operating subsidies for day-to-day management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service across the Authority's public housing inventory. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development of additional units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. Recent awards include a $604,521 Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 with ultimate completion March 31, 2030, a $247,478 Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, a Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with completion May 12, 2029, and an Operating Fund allocation dated January 1, 2025 running through December 31, 2031. The Authority receives these allocations under HUD's formula methodology based on inventory characteristics including unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application. All funded activities align with the Authority's five-year action plan or are approved by HUD for emergency work.

Smithville Housing Authority shows consistent annual award activity, with two grants per year across 2022–2026, generating $16.3 million in combined obligated dollars across forty total awards since 2006. The Authority's customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards fund HUD Public and Indian Housing Office programs. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal points for continued operating and capital support.
