Gainesville Housing Authority

Gainesville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Gainesville, Florida, is a recipient of federal housing grants administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The authority operates as a prime grantee under formula-based federal grant programs; it holds no federal contracts and does not function as a subcontractor.

Gainesville Housing Authority's federal footprint is entirely grant-based, concentrated in two HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual formula grants to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies formula grants for public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities. The authority also holds a project grant under the Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grants program. Recent named awards include a $1,894,811 formula grant under the Public Housing Capital Fund (award date April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2030), multiple Public Housing Operating Fund allocations ranging from $280,007 to $642,232 (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), and a Capital Fund award (May 13, 2025, completion May 12, 2029).

Customer concentration is singular: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 89 of 102 total awards in the source data, with HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development issuing 13 awards (the Choice Neighborhoods grant). All awards are prime grants; the authority holds no subrecipient role. Over the past five years, award volume has remained flat at five to six awards annually. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The authority has obligated $84.1 million across 102 grants since 2006, with recent annual activity placing roughly 5 to 6 grants per year.
