Beaufort Housing Authority

Beaufort Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Beaufort, South Carolina, receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to manage and operate public housing serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent federal awards) and does not serve as a federal contractor, subcontractor, or participate in federal contract vehicles.

Beaufort Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers entirely on three HUD programs administered under the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day maintenance, property management, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses across the Authority's public housing stock. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) delivers formula grants for capital modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to public housing units under approved five-year action plans. Recent awards include a $1,036,580 capital fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and two Public Housing Operating Fund awards totaling $279,004 across the January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2032 period. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 23.xxx) funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support employment and training services for residents; the Authority received project grants for calendar years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 to maintain FSS coordinator positions and serve minimum participant families.

Beaufort Housing Authority's federal grant footprint spans seventy-five awards since 2006, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Award volume has remained flat at approximately four awards annually over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated at $24.6 million across the full award history. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating recompete activity in the near term. The Authority's federal relationship is single-customer (100% HUD) and operates as a direct recipient of formula and project grants rather than through competitive contracting or vehicle-based procurement.
