Columbiana Metro Housing

Columbiana Metro Housing, a U.S. government entity and public housing authority serving East Liverpool, Ohio, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contracts or subcontract involvement.

The organization is a state government housing authority with a pure formula-grant footprint. Its federal award portfolio consists entirely of prime grant awards across three HUD operating offices: the Public and Indian Housing Office (73 awards), the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (36 awards), and the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (1 award). The authority has received $55.3 million in combined obligated federal funds across 110 awards since 2003, with recent activity averaging 4–6 awards per year.

Columbiana Metro Housing's grant work centers on public housing operations, capital improvements, and emergency safety services. Recent representative awards include $1,588,150 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including physical modernization, unit development or acquisition, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing for public housing developments; $452,592 under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, resident services, and administrative costs; and a radon testing and mitigation demonstration grant from the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (CFDA not specified) effective April 1, 2024 through April 1, 2027, requiring professional radon assessment and remediation in selected units. The authority also received Continuum of Care Program awards (CFDA not specified) from the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development in prior years, supporting homeless assistance initiatives.

The Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100 percent of dollar concentration in the source data, with the Capital Fund and Operating Fund programs representing the bulk of recurring formula-based support. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on renewal funding cycles. The authority's federal footprint is exclusively HUD-administered, reflecting its status as a statutory recipient within the national network of approximately 6,000 housing authorities serving 902,436 households nationwide.
