Housing Authority Of Carbon-Emery County

Housing Authority Carbon County, operating as Housing Assistance Program, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Price, Utah, that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in Carbon County.

The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient of HUD grants across two core federal programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supports day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventive maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital resources for modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, construction, facility upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and financing costs associated with public housing developments outlined in the authority's five-year action plan. Recent capital-fund awards include $439,166 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and $163,910 in operating subsidies running from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Earlier capital-fund awards reached completion dates in May 2028 and May 2029; earlier operating-fund awards extend through December 2031 and December 2030.

The authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued all 44 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to present. The award portfolio carries $11.8 million in combined dollars obligated. Activity volume has remained modest and flat — two awards each in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026; four awards in 2023 — with no sub-recipient relationships. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, reflecting the multi-year performance periods typical of HUD formula grants to public housing authorities. As a government entity rather than a for-profit or nonprofit contractor, Housing Authority Carbon County does not compete for federal contracts under set-aside categories and does not appear on competitive procurement vehicles; the organization exists to administer and maintain federally funded public housing inventory for the Carbon County region.
