Union City Housing Authority

Union City Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Union City, Tennessee, receives federal formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents in the Union City area. The Authority does not compete for federal contracts; it operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two HUD programs.

The Authority's entire federal footprint derives from two formula grant programs administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Authority receives annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service on its public housing portfolio. A recent operating fund award dated January 1, 2026, provided $588,899 to support operations through December 31, 2032. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the Authority receives formula allocations to fund capital and modernization activities, including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, infrastructure improvements, and development work as defined in 24 CFR 905.200 and specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan. A capital fund award dated April 1, 2026, provided $861,809 with a performance period running through March 31, 2030.

Across the past several years, the Authority has received forty-five formula grant awards, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated of $24.6 million. Award frequency has been modest and flat — two to four awards annually from 2022 through 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority operates no subcontractor relationships and holds no parent contract vehicles; it functions as a direct recipient of formula grant allocations under Section 9 of the Housing Act of 1937. Place of performance is Union City, Tennessee.
