Boca Raton Housing Authority

Boca Raton Housing Authority, a local government entity operating as a U.S. public housing authority, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, functioning outside the traditional federal contracting system and ineligible for federal contracts or vehicle placement. The Authority operates in Boca Raton, Florida, serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities through formula and project grants administered under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.

The Authority's entire federal footprint (98% of recent awards) flows through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Across 54 awards spanning nearly two decades, HUD accounts for all 53 prime grant awards, representing the totality of the Authority's grantor relationship. The one sub-award on record is a Child Care Food Program sub-grant from the Florida Department of Health dated October 1, 2024. The Authority's customer concentration is absolute: HUD-funded programs account for 100% of the active award portfolio, with a single award from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service representing historical activity outside the housing portfolio.

The Authority receives recurring formula grants under three primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds public housing development, modernization, and management improvements including construction, acquisition of units, and financing activities; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS), a project grant funding coordinator salary and fringe benefits to implement self-sufficiency services for public housing residents, housing choice voucher holders, and project-based rental assistance participants. Recent awards include $310,984 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030), $342,302 under the Public Housing Operating Fund (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032), and recurring FSS awards in 2026, 2025, and 2024. All activities align with the Authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work or work necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters.

Activity has remained flat — three awards per year across 2022–2026 — with no acceleration. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a renewal cycle for FSS and Operating Fund grants. Combined dollars obligated across all 54 awards total $9.9 million, reflecting the incremental nature of formula grant distributions to a single small to mid-sized housing authority. The Authority does not serve as a subcontractor to federal contractors, does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles, and does not operate as a vendor in the traditional federal procurement market; its entire relationship with the federal government is as a direct recipient of HUD housing and self-sufficiency grants.
