County Of Franklin

County Of Franklin, doing business as Housing Athority, is a U.S. government entity — a local housing authority based in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania — that receives federal formula and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident self-sufficiency programs.

As a recipient rather than a prime contractor, County Of Franklin Housing Athority operates exclusively within HUD's Public Housing program portfolio and receives 100% of its federal award volume from a single customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Over the past five years, the entity has received six awards annually on a consistent baseline, with 112 total awards recorded in the source data since 2006 and combined obligations of $42.5 million. The entity does not hold prime or sub federal contracts; all awards are federal grants.

The Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (PHOPF, CFDA 14.850) provides recurring formula grants to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units — routine and preventative maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Recent PHOPF awards include a $171,929 formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital and management activities including housing development, modernization of existing units, and infrastructure upgrades; the Housing Authority received a $1.326 million capital fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 to support modernization and infrastructure improvements in the Chambersburg area. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA numbers vary by statute iteration) funds Family Self-Sufficiency Coordinators who serve residents of public housing and housing choice vouchers through salary and fringe benefits; the Housing Authority received project grants for FSS coordinator positions with award dates ranging from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The Housing Authority also received a $100,000 Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative project grant (June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026) for resident economic mobility programming.

Six awards face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and enter recompete cycle during this window. The Housing Authority operates as a direct federal grant recipient under standard 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with no subcontractor relationships or parent vehicle memberships.
