South Pittsburg Housing Authority

South Pittsburg Housing Authority, a local government entity based in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to administer public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents. The Authority operates exclusively as a direct recipient of federal grants; it does not hold federal contracts, sit on contract vehicles, or work as a subcontractor.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants under two programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides multi-year formula grants for capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades, all specified in the Authority's approved 5-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work. Recent awards include a $532,521 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $316,902 Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2031.

The Authority has received thirty-two awards totaling $17.5 million in combined obligated dollars, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, dating back to 2007. Activity remains steady at approximately two awards per year across the past five years. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete exposure. The Authority's grants support its mission of maintaining quality affordable housing infrastructure serving vulnerable populations in the community.
