Ashford Housing Authority

Ashford Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Ashford, Alabama, that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and day-to-day operations of its public housing portfolio. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not a federal contractor, and has no federal contract prime or subcontract work in its footprint.

Ashford Housing Authority's federal funding centers on two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). The Capital Fund provides grants for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related financing costs. The Operating Fund delivers subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent awards include a $219,016 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a $108,206 Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. All funding flows to the authority as a direct recipient; Ashford Housing Authority administers all program activities with no subcontractor relationships reported in the source data.

The authority's federal customer concentration is absolute: 100% of all 40 awards in the source data come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with a combined obligation total of $6.7 million across the award portfolio. Grant activity maintains a steady cadence of approximately two awards per year across 2022 through 2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal or recompete in that window. The authority's role is limited to administering formula-allocated public housing capital and operating grants in Ashford, Alabama, serving lower-income residents including elderly individuals and families with children.
