Narragansett Housing Authority

Narragansett Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Narragansett, Rhode Island, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing portfolio. The Authority acts as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) with no federal contracts and no subcontracting role; its federal footprint consists entirely of formula and project grants administered through HUD's Public and Indian Housing office.

Narragansett Housing Authority's grant portfolio focuses on three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (formula grant, CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Public Housing Capital Fund (formula grant, CFDA 14.872) finances public housing modernization, development, and management improvements under approved five-year action plans; recent awards include grants dated May 6, 2024 (ultimate completion May 5, 2028) and May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (project grant, CFDA 14.896) funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and voucher programs; the Authority received a $114,660 FSS award effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, supporting coordination of individual training and services plans and employer partnerships for participating families.

The Authority's customer concentration is absolute: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for all 54 awards in the source data, spanning more than two decades of continuous funding. Recent annual grant activity has stabilized at three awards per year (2024, 2025, 2026 year-to-date). Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face renewal or recompete cycles. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.3 million, reflecting the formula-grant nature of the funding — recurring annual allocations rather than large discrete contract awards. The Authority does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; its federal relationship is entirely grant-based and direct to HUD.
