County Of Salt Lake

County Of Salt Lake Housing and Community Development Division, doing business as Administrative Services Dept, is a U.S. local government entity and child division of Salt Lake County that serves as a prime recipient of federal grants for affordable housing development, homelessness intervention, lead hazard remediation, and community development activities in Salt Lake County, Utah. The division operates exclusively as a grant recipient (95% prime awards, 5% sub-awards) and does not hold federal contracts or compete on contract vehicles; all federal funding flows through formula and project grants from HUD and EPA.

The division's federal grant footprint centers on HUD's Community Planning and Development programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the award count with 70 awards, anchored by recurring allocations under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for homelessness interventions, the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) for affordable housing development, the Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.218) for community development activities, and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231) for emergency shelter and homelessness prevention. Recent CoC and ESG awards include a $517,374 CoC project grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 for permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing; a $283,778 CoC award from November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026 supporting homelessness management and housing assistance; a $195,125 ESG formula grant from September 23, 2025 through September 22, 2027 for street outreach and emergency shelter operations; and a $1,576,570.51 HOME formula grant obligated September 23, 2025 with completion September 30, 2034 for rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance to low-income households.

The division also holds lead hazard remediation and healthy homes capacity-building grants from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (7 awards), including a $4.79 million Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant (CFDA 14.905) awarded May 15, 2026 running through May 15, 2030 that funds EPA-certified lead inspections, risk assessments, interim controls, and abatement work in pre-1960 housing with focus on pre-1940 construction and low-income and minority neighborhoods. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 funding (6 awards) supports brownfields assessment, cleanup planning, and revolving loan fund capitalization under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.818); recent awards include a $3.9 million RLF capitalization grant (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2027) and a $1 million assessment and cleanup planning cooperative agreement (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2027). The division also holds a $500,000 EPA air quality monitoring project grant (CFDA 66.034) awarded August 4, 2023 through July 30, 2026 for ambient air monitoring using electric bus-mounted sensors in underserved West Salt Lake County communities.

The division acts as a sub-recipient on workforce development and AmeriCorps grants from upstream state agencies: a sub-award from the Utah Department of Workforce Service (October 14, 2025) for case management services for refugee seniors; AmeriCorps Most Vulnerable Populations (MVP) program sub-awards from the Utah Commission on Service and Volunteerism (August 1, 2025 and August 22, 2024) deploying 40 AmeriCorps members as community support specialists for housing and employment placement; and Social Services Block Grant sub-awards from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services (July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2022).

Activity has remained flat at seven to eight awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with only two awards recorded through mid-2026. The division faces four awards reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. The division's parent entity is Salt Lake County's Human Services Department, and the Housing and Community Development Division coordinates with multiple sub-recipients and community partners including Magna, NeighborWorks Salt Lake, and the Wasatch Coalition to implement federally funded homelessness, housing stability, and community development initiatives across Salt Lake County.
