About Boston Housing Authority
Boston Housing Authority, a public housing agency based in Boston, Massachusetts, receives federal grant funding from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office as the prime recipient (100% of recent awards) to support public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident services. The Authority does not pursue federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of formula grants and project grants from HUD, with smaller amounts from other agencies including the Department of Education, EPA Region 1, and the CDC.
The Authority's federal grant portfolio totals $1.95 billion across 1,354 awards spanning the past two decades, with activity ranging from 70 awards in 2022 to 58 in 2026, indicating slight decline in recent years. HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office funds 1,336 awards—nearly the entirety of the portfolio—covering three core programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds coordinator salaries to deliver employment and economic mobility services. Representative recent awards include a $36.1 million Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 2026, completion March 2030) for capital and management activities, a $529,104 Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant (January 2026, completion December 2026) for coordinator salaries, and multiple Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants ranging from $152,000 to $3.17 million across various award dates in 2025 and 2026 with completion dates through December 2032.
The Authority also receives smaller project grants and sub-awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development for economic development initiatives and congressionally directed spending (11 awards), funds from the Department of Education for adult education and literacy services, and a sub-award from the Boston Public Health Commission for the BOLD Project on Alzheimer's disease and dementia awareness (April 2025). Within the next 24 months, 148 awards reach ultimate completion and face recompete or renewal, representing the primary pipeline for funding continuity. The Authority's federal funding is substantially concentrated in HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office programs serving Boston's low-income residents, with 44 percent of beneficiaries elderly and 35 percent families with children.
