Albuquerque Housing Authority

Albuquerque Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, acts as a recipient of federal grants in housing operations, capital improvements, and workforce development programs from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Energy. The organization operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient; the source records no federal contract awards, no participation in GWACs or BPAs, and no subcontract work.

Albuquerque Housing Authority's federal footprint is tightly concentrated in HUD housing programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 135 of 148 prime awards (97% coverage), delivering formula and project grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), and Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS). Recent representative awards include a $2.27 million Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) supporting capital and management activities, modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements across the Authority's public housing portfolio; multiple Public Housing Operating Fund awards ($269,091, $335,329, $473,280, and $339,301) providing operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses running through December 2032; and Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grants funding coordinator salaries to implement employment and self-sufficiency services for public housing residents. The Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development contributed 12 awards (8% of awards). The Department of Energy granted a $1 project award (October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026) for the Albuquerque Public Housing Electrification project, which rehabilitated two existing public housing properties (La Plata Road NW and Veranda Road NE) through replacement of gas furnaces and water heaters with high-efficiency electric heat pump systems, electric hot water heaters, energy-efficient appliances, and electrical panel upgrades to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Activity has been flat across recent years: ten awards in 2022, nine in 2023, nine in 2024, nine in 2025, and six in 2026 year-to-date. Twelve awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $123.3 million spanning a record beginning in 2003. The Authority holds no federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, and operates entirely through formula and project grant mechanisms. Grant sub-award activity is minimal: three sub-awards documented across the portfolio for roof rehabilitation, new construction of 46 units with acquisition and rehabilitation of 42 units, and replacement of approximately 65 roofs at four public housing sites.
