Ashtabula Metropolitan Housing Authority

Ashtabula Metropolitan Housing Authority, doing business as South Ridge Village, is a U.S. government entity — specifically a state-chartered public housing authority headquartered in Ashtabula, Ohio — that receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and develop public housing serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities in northeast Ohio. The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no prime or subcontractor federal contract footprint.

The authority's federal funding activity centers entirely on two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards support day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund awards support public housing modernization, development, construction, rehabilitation, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements drawn from the authority's five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. Recent named awards include a $1.87 million Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; an $889,557 Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a $306,370 Public Housing Operating Fund award obligated January 1, 2026, with performance through December 31, 2032.

The authority has received 68 federal awards since 2006, with combined dollars obligated of $69.3 million, distributed consistently across recent years at approximately three awards per calendar year (2022–2026). All awards come from a single customer — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — and all are formula-based allocations rather than competitive procurements. Six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will cycle for renewal under HUD's standard formula-allocation process. The authority competes in no federal contract vehicles, holds no SBA certifications, and does not engage in subcontracting relationships on federal awards.
