Federal Grant Award Summary

The Portsmouth Metropolitan Housing Authority received a formula grant award of $240,911.00 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) program, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. This funding supports the operating and maintenance expenses of public housing units managed by the Authority in Portsmouth, Ohio, serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities.

The grant funds day-to-day operational activities including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation expenses. The Operating Fund is part of a broader $5 billion national initiative administered by HUD that provides operating subsidies to approximately 6,000 housing authorities serving over 1.5 million public housing residents. These formula-based grants enable housing authorities to maintain adequate services, preserve minimum operating reserves, and ensure the provision of decent, safe, and affordable housing for vulnerable populations across their service areas.
