Charleston County Housing And Redevelopment Authority

Charleston County Housing And Redevelopment Authority (Administration Division) is a U.S. government entity—a county housing authority—that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and improve public housing stock serving low-income residents in the Charleston, South Carolina area. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it has no federal contracts and does not subcontract.

The authority's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated in three HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supplies recurring operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula-based grants for capital modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional units, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades—a $1,064,154 award granted April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2030. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who deliver employment and economic self-sufficiency services to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs; Charleston County received $170,698 under this program effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026.

Customer concentration is absolute: all 89 awards in the source data come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, covering the period from 2006 to April 2026. Annual award volume has remained steady at five grants per year across the past five years. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete opportunities. Total dollars obligated across all awards sum to $34.9 million. The authority functions as a direct federal grant recipient managing HUD's formula-based allocations for public housing operations and capital improvements in Charleston County, with no teaming relationships, subcontracting activity, or involvement in competitive federal procurement vehicles.
