Bangor Housing Authority

Bangor Housing Authority, a tax-exempt not-for-profit corporation based in Bangor, Maine, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and modernize public housing for low-income residents in Bangor.

Bangor Housing Authority operates as a prime recipient across 111 awards (97% of its footprint) in federal grant programs administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority does not hold federal contracts; its federal relationship is entirely grant-based, structured around four core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, energy costs, security, and resident support services across the Authority's housing stock. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) delivers formula grants for facility modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency enhancements specified in the Authority's five-year action plan. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds coordinator positions that deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs, requiring coordinators to serve at least 25 families per funded position. The Authority also receives project grants including a pilot of the Mental Health Outreach for MotherS (MOMS) Partnership delivered as a sub-recipient through the Maine Department of Health and Human Services.

Recent representative awards include a $2.1 million Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant obligated April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; a $407,604 Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant for the calendar year 2026; and a $1.73 million Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant covering January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Authority also received a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative project grant awarded May 29, 2025, running through May 31, 2028.

HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 79 of 114 awards (99% of the award portfolio) by count, with $88.2 million combined dollars obligated across all federal sources since 1980. The Authority maintains sub-recipient status on four grant awards, including multiple years of the MOMS Partnership mental health pilot. The Authority also holds positions on three Air Force-administered indefinite delivery contracts with 25 combined task orders under Basic Ordering Agreement F2760480D0016, though the source does not specify dollar values or scope for Air Force work. Twelve awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete activity for the Authority.
