East Providence Housing Authority Inc.

East Providence Housing Authority Inc., a local government housing authority based in East Providence, Rhode Island, receives federal formula grants and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and families with children in its service area.

East Providence Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient under three HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides ongoing operating subsidies for day-to-day management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital activities including housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and management improvements documented in the Authority's five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement employment support services for public housing residents, housing choice voucher holders, and project-based rental assistance residents, with coordinators responsible for enrolling families, preparing individual training and service plans, and building community partnerships.

Recent representative awards include a $1,145,228 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; multiple Public Housing Operating Fund allocations totaling $652,000 across three separate grants effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a $193,786 Public Housing Operating Fund allocation effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Authority also receives annual Family Self-Sufficiency project grants supporting FSS coordinator positions, most recently for the calendar year 2026.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of the Authority's 103 federal awards. The Authority operates as a prime recipient on all grant work; it does not serve as a subrecipient or compete for contract work. Across the past five years, the Authority has received approximately six awards per year, with a combined obligation of $37.4 million. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
