Clearwater Housing Authority

Clearwater Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Clearwater, Florida, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.850, 14.872, and related programs) as a prime recipient across 111 awards with $29.3 million in combined obligated dollars. The authority does not hold federal contracts and operates as a non-commercial public housing agency.

Clearwater Housing Authority administers formula and project grants for public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident self-sufficiency programs across a stable award footprint spanning two decades. The authority's work falls into three concrete capability areas: operational subsidies and maintenance for public housing units under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides day-to-day management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services; capital modernization and development activities under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), funding infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and physical modernization of public housing stock; and resident employment and self-sufficiency coordination under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.870), which funds FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support job training, career planning, and community partnership development for public housing residents. Recent representative awards include a $618,747 formula grant from HUD for the Public Housing Capital Fund (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) supporting five-year capital and management activities; a $332,787 formula grant under the Public Housing Operating Fund (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) for operational and maintenance expenses; and multiple Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grants (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) funding coordinator positions to serve minimum participant requirements. The authority also received a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grant (June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2028) supporting employment initiatives.

Customer concentration is absolute: 111 of 112 awards (99% coverage) flow from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Award volume has remained stable over the past five years (7 awards in 2022, 9 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 5 year-to-date in 2026), with fourteen awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority acts as prime recipient on 111 awards and holds one federal grant sub-award (HOME funding for security deposit assistance to transitional rental assistance recipients, awarded February 21, 2024). The authority has not competed on federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or other transactional federal vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of formula and project grants issued directly by HUD.
