Western Regional Housing Authority

Western Regional Housing Authority, doing business as Housing Authority Of Region V, is a U.S. government entity based in Silver City, New Mexico, that has been registered in SAM.gov since April 2009. As a local government-owned housing authority, the organization serves as a critical provider of affordable public housing services to low-income residents within its regional service area. The authority administers and manages public housing programs that provide safe, sanitary housing to vulnerable populations, including elderly residents and families with children, while maintaining operational excellence and regulatory compliance under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.

Western Regional Housing Authority has received consistent federal grant funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, demonstrating a sustained commitment to public housing administration and improvement. The authority's grant portfolio encompasses two primary federal programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative costs; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital and management activities including modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure enhancements. As of January 2026, the authority holds active funding including a $132,380 operating grant (January 1, 2026–December 31, 2032) and a $521,413 capital fund grant awarded in May 2025 (extending through May 12, 2029). The organization's grant history reflects a continuous cycle of awards dating back to 2021, with multiple overlapping grant periods that collectively support the authority's mission to maintain and improve public housing stock, ensure adequate service delivery to approximately 1.59 million public housing residents nationwide (of which the authority serves a portion), and support vulnerable populations including elderly residents and families with children through sustained federal partnership with HUD.
