Vance County Housing Authority

Vance County Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Henderson, North Carolina, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents in Vance County. The Authority is not a federal contractor; it operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund programs.

Vance County Housing Authority has received ten awards across federal grant programs since 2022, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (100% concentration). The Authority receives two grant types on a recurring basis: Public Housing Capital Fund grants (CFDA 14.872) supporting capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs; and Public Housing Operating Fund grants (CFDA 14.895) providing operating subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services. Representative awards include a $309,813 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, running through May 12, 2029. All capital and operating funds are governed by the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended, and must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR 200. Eligible activities must align with the Authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or be approved separately by HUD for emergency work or non-presidentially declared natural disaster response.

Award activity has remained flat at two awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all thirty-six awards total $8 million. Two awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal or recompete. The Authority does not hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs and does not serve as a subcontractor on federal awards.
