Fresno County Housing Authority

Fresno County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government county housing authority based in Fresno, California, is a recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for public housing operations, capital improvements, and workforce development programs. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (98% of recent awards as prime recipient) under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office and does not hold federal contracts or compete for procurements.

The Authority's federal footprint centers on three formula grant programs administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) dominates the portfolio, with multiple annual allocations supporting day-to-day operational expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for the Authority's public housing portfolio. Recent Operating Fund awards include $233,321 (January 2026–December 2032), $170,228 (January 2026–December 2032), $234,685 (January 2026–December 2032), and $102,004 (January 2026–December 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides $1,954,080 (April 2026–March 2030) for capital and management activities including modernization of existing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. The Authority also receives the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program grant (Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act), which funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement workforce development and self-sufficiency services for residents of public housing and housing choice vouchers; recent FSS awards run from January 2026–December 2026 and January 2025–December 2025. An Economic Development Initiative grant award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development runs through August 31, 2031.

Customer concentration is absolute: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 173 of 179 total awards (98% coverage), with the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service (2 awards) and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (1 award) comprising the remainder. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $98.9 million. The Authority has served the same three federal customers across a 21-year award history dating to 2006. Nine awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months represent potential recompete or renewal activity. The Authority operates as a single sub-recipient on one sub-award (Parkside Inn Phase I, March 15, 2024) to a higher-level grant recipient. As a government entity, Fresno County Housing Authority does not hold SBA designations and does not compete under set-aside categories.
