Chillicothe Metro Housing Authority

Chillicothe Metro Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Chillicothe, Ohio, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain its public housing portfolio and deliver self-sufficiency services to low-income residents. The authority is a 100% prime recipient across its 33 federal grants and does not subcontract; it operates under a stable annual grant allocation pattern of approximately six awards per year.

The authority's grant footprint centers on three federal programs under CFDA 14.850 (Public Housing Operating Fund), CFDA 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund), and CFDA 14.896 (Family Self-Sufficiency Program). Operating Fund grants provide day-to-day operational and maintenance subsidies for public housing properties, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Representative 2025–2026 awards under this program include a $269,542 formula grant for operating subsidies (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2032), a $188,127 formula grant for operating subsidies (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2032), and a $162,655 formula grant for operating subsidies (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2032). The authority also received a $1,295,439 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, funding public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements. Under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, the authority received a $110,000 project grant (January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026) to fund coordinator salaries and fringe benefits supporting at least 25 participating families in employment and economic self-sufficiency activities.

The authority's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the 33 awards in the source data, representing $15.4 million in combined dollars obligated. Activity has remained consistent at six awards per year since 2022. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure in that window.
