City Of Pottsville Housing Authority

City Of Pottsville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for public housing operations and capital modernization under two formula grant programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants, which are allocated automatically to public housing authorities based on their inventory characteristics rather than through competitive procurement. The authority receives recurring annual allocations under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses for its public housing portfolio. Recent operating fund grants include $504,124 awarded January 1, 2026 (performance period through December 31, 2032), $309,696 awarded January 1, 2026 (same period), $263,896 awarded January 1, 2026 (same period), and $174,894 awarded January 1, 2026 (same period). The authority also receives periodic capital funding under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) for modernization, development, and management improvements to its housing inventory. A $1,547,641 capital grant was awarded April 1, 2026 (performance period through March 31, 2030); capital funds support physical improvements to existing units and construction or acquisition of additional public housing units, as specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

The authority's customer concentration is absolute: 97 of 98 awards derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office ($49 million combined obligated across the award portfolio), with one award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Activity has remained stable at five awards per year across the past five years. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's routine recompete window for annual operating and periodic capital allocations. Place of performance for all awards is Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
