Tiverton Housing Authority

Tiverton Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since July 2009 and headquartered in Tiverton, Rhode Island. As a municipal housing authority, the organization provides public housing services to low-income residents and receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office to support its operations and capital improvement initiatives. The authority does not serve as a prime contractor on federal contracts and has not engaged subcontractors for federal work; rather, it operates exclusively as a direct recipient of federal grants designated for public housing agencies.

Tiverton Housing Authority has received consistent formula grant awards through two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund and the Public Housing Capital Fund. Operating fund grants, awarded annually beginning January 1st with multi-year performance periods extending through December 31st, provide subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses required under the Housing Act of 1937. Capital fund grants, awarded on varying schedules with performance periods typically spanning four to five years, support modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to the authority's public housing inventory, including emergency safety and security enhancements addressing crime and drug-related activity. The authority's documented awards include a $116,798 capital grant awarded in May 2025 and a $167,400 emergency safety and security grant awarded in September 2025, demonstrating the organization's active utilization of federal resources to maintain and improve housing quality for the residents it serves.
