Spruce Pine Housing Authority

Spruce Pine Housing Authority, a North Carolina–based nonprofit public housing agency, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and operating expenses for low-income public housing units in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. The agency operates exclusively as a grant recipient, with no federal contracting activity and no subcontracting relationships across its federal footprint.

Spruce Pine Housing Authority's federal activity consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Recent awards include a $325,030 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting public housing modernization, development, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency improvements; and a $101,074 operating fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The capital fund award must comply with the agency's HUD-approved five-year action plan, with all project completion required by March 31, 2030. Both programs serve low-income residents, with the operating fund supporting approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationwide serving 1.59 million residents.

The agency's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of recent awards across its full forty-award federal footprint. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $8.2 million, reflecting the modest scale of Spruce Pine's public housing portfolio relative to the broader national Public Housing Capital Fund and Operating Fund programs, which serve approximately 2,770 housing authorities and 6,000 authorities respectively. Award volume has remained consistent at two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with two awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The agency's federal grant activity spans from 2006 to the present, establishing a sustained recipient relationship with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.
