Erie County Housing

Erie County Housing, a U.S. county-level housing authority based in Corry, Pennsylvania, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing portfolio, and partners with Pennsylvania state agencies as a sub-recipient on weatherization and energy-efficiency assistance programs.

Erie County Housing operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient; the vendor holds no federal contracts and does not bid on procurement vehicles. The entity is a local government housing authority, not a for-profit or commercial entity. Its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded, with no prime contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs in the source data.

The recipient's work centers on two HUD formula-grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund supports day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Public Housing Capital Fund funds modernization, development, management improvements, and capital activities. Most recently, Erie County Housing received a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029) and a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026 (ultimate completion December 31, 2032). An earlier Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024 runs through May 5, 2028.

Customer concentration is extreme: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for all 45 prime grant awards (100% of prime awards). In its sub-recipient role, Erie County Housing participates in Pennsylvania's Weatherization Assistance Program under sub-awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development. Nine awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and two from the Department of Energy round out the funding agencies, though these appear to reflect sub-award pass-through activity rather than direct operational programs. Combined dollars obligated across all 57 awards (prime and sub) total $18.4 million.

Activity has been episodic over the past five years—five awards in 2022, six in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026. Six awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating recompete or renewal exposure in that window. The source data span from 2006 to April 2026, indicating a long-standing recipient relationship with HUD but no commercial or competitive contracting footprint that would position Erie County Housing as a teaming partner or competitive threat in the federal procurement marketplace.
