Danvers Housing Authority

Danvers Housing Authority, a not-for-profit public housing authority headquartered in Danvers, Massachusetts, is a federal grant recipient administering HUD formula grants for public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operating expenses serving low-income residents across its local portfolio. The Authority acts as a prime recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving 100% of its federal funding from that single agency across formula-based grant programs rather than competing for discretionary awards or federal contracts.

Danvers Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants spanning two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, development, infrastructure, and energy efficiency upgrades, and the Public Housing Operating Fund, which supports day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, management, resident services, and debt service. Recent representative awards include a $241,220 Public Housing Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) for capital and management activities; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032); another Public Housing Capital Fund award (May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029); and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031). The Authority maintains direct responsibility for implementing all funded capital projects and operational improvements with no identified sub-recipients on these awards.

Activity has remained stable and predictable, averaging two awards per year over the past five years with a combined obligated value of $6.2 million across forty-one awards dating back to 2006. Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole funding source across the entire award portfolio. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a formula-grant recipient rather than a competitive contractor, the Authority's federal footprint reflects the structure of HUD's public housing programs, which provide routine, predictable allocations to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide serving nearly one million units; this posture contrasts sharply with competitive federal vendors and places the Authority outside the typical federal contractor competitive-intelligence landscape.
