Washington County Housing Authority

Washington County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Chatom, Alabama, acts as a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards) receiving formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and maintenance across its portfolio serving low-income residents in Washington County.

The Authority's entire federal footprint consists of recurring Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.889) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) grants. These formula-based awards provide operating subsidies and capital financing for eligible activities including modernization, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, development, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, and administrative program implementation. Representative recent awards include a $100,581 Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, with performance obligations through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant (award date January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2032); and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with completion by May 12, 2029. The Authority maintains required inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, complies with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and submits annual certifications to maintain funding eligibility.

Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for all 35 awards in the source data spanning from July 2006 through April 2026, with combined dollars obligated of $2.7 million. Activity has been consistent at two awards per year across 2022–2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (recompete window), indicating routine annual formula grant cycles typical of housing authority grant administration. The Authority does not hold federal contracts, contract IDVs, or subcontractor positions; its relationship with HUD is exclusively as a direct grant recipient administering the Public Housing Program under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
