ADA County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Boise, Idaho, is a federal grant recipient (100% prime recipient posture, no contractor role) that administers public housing, homelessness services, and family economic self-sufficiency programs funded through HUD and the Department of Justice.

ADA County Housing Authority operates as a direct recipient of formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office and the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The authority's grant portfolio spans four distinct federal customer agencies and 84 awards across five major federal programs. The Public and Indian Housing Office funds three recurring formula-grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.839), which supports day-to-day operations and maintenance of public housing stock; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.871), which funds modernization, development, and capital improvements; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds coordinator salaries to deliver employment and economic mobility services. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; a Family Self-Sufficiency grant of $191,768 awarded January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026; and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032. The Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which provides rapid rehousing, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, case management, and homeless management information systems; recent CoC awards include a $1.61 million project grant awarded August 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026. The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women funds the Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Domestic Violence (CFDA 16.736), supporting six-to-twenty-four-month transitional housing and support services for domestic violence survivors; ADA County Housing Authority received a project grant under this program awarded October 1, 2022, running through September 30, 2025.
