Tennessee Valley Regional Housing Author

Tennessee Valley Regional Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Corinth, Mississippi, is a federal grant recipient that operates Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) programs under annual Project Grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority does not hold federal contracts; it operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no subcontracting relationships in its federal footprint.

Tennessee Valley Regional Housing Authority's federal work consists entirely of HUD FSS grants under CFDA 14.896, with five awards documented in the source spanning 2022 through 2026. The 2026 award, effective January 1 through December 31, 2026, carries $301,980 in funding and covers salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and Project-Based Rental Assistance properties. FSS coordinators enroll and maintain program participants, develop individualized training and services plans, establish partnerships with employers and community service providers, and support families in achieving economic self-sufficiency. The authority must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families per funded coordinator position, with subsequent coordinator positions requiring an additional 50 families each. Prior awards under the same program (2022–2025) follow identical funding structures and performance requirements.

The authority's customer concentration is absolute: all 81 awards in the source data derive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with $53.8 million in combined dollars obligated across the full portfolio. Activity has remained stable at one award per year over the past five years. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a standard annual FSS grant renewal cycle rather than a recompete exposure at scale. Tennessee Valley Regional Housing Authority operates within the federal housing-assistance ecosystem as a statutory program operator, not as a vendor competing for discretionary federal procurements.
