Dover Housing Authority Inc.

Dover Housing Authority Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit housing authority based in Dover, Delaware, acts as a federal grant recipient exclusively from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating public housing and administering formula-based operating and capital-improvement funding for low-income residents across Dover and Leipsic, Delaware.

The vendor's entire federal footprint comprises 114 grants spanning two primary HUD 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 and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades, all as specified in the authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan. Recent representative awards include a $981,936 Public Housing Capital Fund grant dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030) supporting capital activities in the Leipsic area, a $216,626 Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032) for Leipsic operations, and a $133,559 Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032) for Dover-area operations.

Customer concentration is absolute: all 114 awards and 100% of combined potential value ($32.5 million obligated across the entire award portfolio) derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The vendor receives no sub-awards and does not sit on competitive contracts or government-wide vehicles; its federal relationship is exclusively as a formula-grant recipient administering public housing stock under HUD's Annual Contribution Contract framework. Award activity shows a gradual decline over the past five years—from eight awards in 2022 to five in both 2025 and 2026 year-to-date—reflecting the fixed formula-allocation model of housing authority funding rather than competitive growth. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, but these are formula grants subject to automatic renewal rather than recompete exposure in the traditional procurement sense. All expenditures comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and remain subject to HUD audit and independent auditor review. This entity does not operate as a federal contractor pursuing competitive prime or sub awards; it functions as an administrator of federal housing assistance programs serving elderly residents and families with children under statutory formula-grant authority.
