Cambridge Metropolitan Housing Authority

Cambridge Metropolitan Housing Authority, a local government entity based in Cambridge, Ohio, receives formula and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing portfolio. The Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontract engagement; all 56 awards in the source data are HUD grants issued under three core programs spanning public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident self-sufficiency initiatives.

The Authority's grant portfolio concentrates entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent awards include a $538,640 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting modernization projects, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades across the Authority's public housing units. The Authority also holds Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants (CFDA unspecified) covering day-to-day operational expenses, management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services. Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grants fund coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support resident employment and self-sufficiency outcomes; the most recent FSS award (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) requires the Authority to maintain participating families and build community employer partnerships.

Activity has remained flat over the past five years, with three awards per year in 2022 through 2026. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months (as of the July 2026 reference date), creating near-term grant renewal cycles. The Authority's obligated federal funding across all active and recently completed awards totals $11.9 million. Compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's Information Management System inventory reporting requirements apply across all awards. The Authority functions as a direct formula-grant recipient under the Public Housing Act, not as a vendor serving other federal agencies or as a subcontractor to prime recipients.
