About the company

Universal Housing Development Corp, doing business as Paris Rural Rental Apartments, is a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation based in Russellville, Arkansas, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on rural housing development and self-help homeownership programs. The organization works exclusively as a prime recipient across HUD and USDA grant programs; it holds no federal contracts and carries no subcontract position.

The organization's capability portfolio centers on three complementary rural housing programs. Under the USDA Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420), Universal Housing Development Corp delivers construction expertise, homebuyer education, financial counseling, and community outreach to guide very low- and low-income rural residents through sweat-equity self-help home building. Recent USDA Rural Self-Help awards include $336,000 (September 27, 2025, through June 27, 2026), $180,000 (May 6, 2025, through July 6, 2026), and $167,350 (August 28, 2024, through October 28, 2025). The organization also operates as a HUD-approved housing counseling agency under the Comprehensive Housing Counseling program, providing pre-purchase counseling, delinquency resolution, and foreclosure assistance to homeowners and renters. Additionally, Universal Housing Development Corp administers the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, where it hires and retains FSS coordinators who enroll families, prepare individual training and services plans, and build employer partnerships to help participants achieve employment gains and self-sufficiency over 5–7 year participation periods.

Customer concentration is entirely within two federal agencies. The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service accounts for 33 awards across two funding lines (21 awards from the main Rural Housing Service and 12 from the Single Family Housing Program). The Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 28 awards split between the Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner (17 awards) and the Public and Indian Housing Office (11 awards). One award appears under HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The organization has served five distinct federal customer agencies over its award history. Recent grants completing in the next twenty-four months number three awards. Annual award volume has remained steady at two to four awards per year across 2022–2026, with combined obligated dollars of $9.1 million across 62 total awards in the source data, all dated from 2006 forward.
