Sandusky Metropolitan Housing

Sandusky Metro Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Fremont, Ohio, receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operating expenses, capital improvements, and maintenance activities. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint.

Sandusky Metro Housing Authority's grant activity is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two federal grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service associated with the Authority's public housing portfolio. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and emergency repairs to the housing inventory. Both programs are formula-based, with awards calculated on factors including unit counts and building age. The Authority's most recent awards include a $125,127 Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2032), a $161,507 Capital Fund award (April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2030), and an $830,000-class capital award (August 3, 2026, completion December 31, 2030). The Authority maintains compliance with 2 CFR 200 audit requirements and certifies housing inventory data through HUD's Information Management System.

The Authority has received 35 federal grants across twenty years, with combined dollars obligated of approximately $4.7 million. Recent activity has remained steady at two to three awards per year. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. All work is performed in Fremont, Ohio, where the Authority manages its public housing portfolio for low-income residents. The Authority has no federal contract prime awardee or subcontractor relationships and does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs.
