Hot Springs Housing Auth

Hot Springs Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Hot Springs, Arkansas, operates as the recipient of federal housing-assistance grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contracting activity. The organization functions exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a prime contractor or subcontractor on federal procurements.

Hot Springs Housing Authority's entire federal footprint derives from the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program, governed by Section 23 of the Housing Act of 1937 and Section 306 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 115-174). The FSS program funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement self-sufficiency services for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), and project-based rental assistance (PBRA) properties. The organization has received consecutive annual FSS project grants from HUD, with awards in calendar years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Each FSS grant requires the authority to hire and retain one full-time equivalent coordinator per funded position and maintain a minimum of 25 participating families for the first coordinator position, increasing by 50 families for each additional coordinator. Coordinators' responsibilities include enrolling and maintaining families in the program, preparing individual training and services plans (ITSPs), and building partnerships with local employers and service providers to help participants achieve employment and wage-improvement goals over a five- to seven-year participation period.

All 42 awards in the source data represent FSS funding from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated of $19.8 million over the source period. Activity has remained consistent at one award per calendar year across the past five years, with the most recent award dated January 1, 2026, and ultimate completion December 31, 2026. One award falls within the next twenty-four-month recompete window. Hot Springs Housing Authority has no involvement in federal contracting vehicles, competitive bidding, set-asides, or subcontracting relationships; the organization is a direct grant recipient administering HUD housing-assistance programs at the local level.
