Bradford County Housing Authority

Bradford County Housing Authority, a non-profit public housing agency headquartered in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contracting footprint and no subcontractor relationships across a portfolio of seventy-four formula and project grants totaling $25.9 million in combined obligations since 2006.

Bradford County Housing Authority's entire federal footprint derives from HUD's Public Housing programs under two primary grant vehicles: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards provide recurring formula grants for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation costs. Capital Fund awards support modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, and management improvements to the Authority's public housing inventory, including facility repairs and upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, emergency repairs, and acquisition or construction of additional public housing units. Recent representative awards include a $1,183,367 formula grant under the Capital Fund effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $161,358 formula grant under the Operating Fund effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a $114,761 formula grant under the Operating Fund effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Authority also holds a project grant under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative (effective June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027), a HUD-sponsored employment and financial literacy program for public housing residents.

All seventy-four awards flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office; no other federal agencies fund Bradford County Housing Authority's portfolio. Award frequency remains stable at four to five grants per calendar year over the past five years. Five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete. The Authority operates solely as a prime recipient; it neither subcontracts federal work nor receives sub-award funding from other organizations. All Capital Fund and Operating Fund work is performed within Bradford County, Pennsylvania, serving low-income residents, including elderly households and families with children in the Authority's public housing stock.
