Housing Authority-The City

Housing Authority-The City, a local government housing authority based in Greenwood, South Carolina, receives operating and capital funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant programs. The authority is a U.S. government entity classified as a local government-owned housing authority and operates exclusively as a grant recipient—not as a federal contractor or subcontractor—managing public housing portfolios and supporting affordable housing operations for lower-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Greenwood area.

Housing Authority-The City's federal funding footprint is narrow by design. The organization has received 40 federal awards spanning from 2006 onward, all from a single customer agency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing $20.7 million in combined dollars obligated across its recorded history. The authority receives formula-based grants rather than competitive awards, meaning allocations are calculated by HUD's standardized formula reflecting the agency's public housing inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Recent representative awards include a $794,157 Public Housing Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030) supporting modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades across the public housing portfolio; and a $296,621 Public Housing Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032) funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service.

Activity is steady and predictable at two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with two awards reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The authority has no subcontractor relationships or parent vehicle positions; all work is direct federal grant receipt and administration under the 1937 Housing Act framework. The organization's federal role is limited to the administration and deployment of HUD formula grants for public housing capital and operations within its Greenwood jurisdictional area.
