Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of the County of Dauphin received a $152,109 formula grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) program, obligated on April 20, 2026, with a completion date of December 31, 2029. These operating subsidies support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing dwellings serving lower-income residents throughout Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

The funds enable the Housing Authority to cover essential public housing operations including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Operating Fund is a $5 billion national program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities and 902,436 public housing households, with particular focus on elderly residents (44%) and families with children (35%). As a formula grant, funding is distributed based on standardized HUD calculations (Forms HUD-52723 and HUD-52722) rather than competitive selection, ensuring consistent operational funding across the nation's public housing stock.
