Bangor Housing Authority

Bangor Housing Authority, a tax-exempt not-for-profit public housing agency based in Bangor, Maine, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident economic mobility programs. The organization does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor on contracts; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based, with 97% of awards as prime recipient and 3% as sub-recipient on grant awards from HUD and state pass-through agencies.

Bangor Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on three core HUD programs administered through the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs for the Authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income residents. Recent operating fund awards include $553,081 obligated on August 3, 2026, through December 31, 2030, and $2.639 million obligated on January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements specified in approved five-year action plans; Bangor Housing Authority received $2.103 million on April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and an additional capital fund award on May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds FSS coordinators who enroll and maintain families in economic self-sufficiency programming; Bangor Housing Authority received $407,604 on January 1, 2026, to employ one full-time FSS coordinator serving at least 25 participating families during calendar year 2026.

HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 80 of 115 prime awards (69% by count) and dominates the combined obligated value across the portfolio. The Department of the Air Force issued 30 awards (26% by count), representing a secondary but substantial customer base; these awards appear to relate to housing operations or facility support at military installations. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development each account for a small number of awards. Ten awards in the portfolio carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure.

Bangor Housing Authority also receives sub-grant funding through the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to pilot the Mental Health Outreach for Mothers (MOMS) Partnership, an intervention developed by Elevate, within the Authority's Capehart community; sub-awards under this initiative date from May 2023, May 2025, and March 2026. The organization maintains access to HUD's web-based platforms for real-time data on funding levels, occupancy rates, and families served to support portfolio management and compliance reporting under 2 CFR 200.
