Housing Authority Of The County Of Marin

Housing Authority Of The County Of Marin, doing business as County Of Marin, is a U.S. local government entity operating as a public housing authority that receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient, not a contractor. The organization is a child entity of the parent County Of Marin government and operates exclusively in the grant-funded affordable housing and homelessness services space rather than in procurement-based contracting.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on four primary HUD grant programs administered through the Public and Indian Housing Office and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation for public housing serving low-income residents in Marin County. Recent Operating Fund awards include a $1,620,816 formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $614,353 formula grant covering the same period. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development of public housing units; a $1,766,672 award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 supports capital activities specified in the Housing Authority's five-year action plan. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who provide employment and economic mobility services to low-income families; the Housing Authority received a $457,983 project grant for calendar year 2026 supporting coordinator positions serving enrolled families across public housing, Housing Choice Voucher properties, and project-based rental assistance properties. The Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) funds permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and homelessness prevention initiatives; a $238,760 project grant awarded August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026 supports eligible activities combating homelessness in Marin County.

The Housing Authority also receives sub-award funding through the California Department of Public Health under the Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS program, providing HIV/AIDS housing assistance and supportive services to low-income people living with HIV throughout California. Sub-awards in this stream were received July 1, 2025; July 1, 2024; and July 1, 2023.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic: the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office anchors 90 of 140 total awards in the recent portfolio, while the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 49 awards, covering 99 percent of all federal funding activity. No other federal agencies appear in the award footprint. Six awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing recompete or renewal exposure for the Housing Authority. The organization does not hold federal contracts, contract vehicles, or IDVs; all federal funding flows through HUD grant programs directed at public housing operations, capital, family economic self-sufficiency, homelessness services, and HIV/AIDS housing support. This profile is characteristic of public housing authorities nationwide, which operate as grant recipients rather than federal contractors and do not compete for federal procurement opportunities.
