Albany Housing Authority

Albany Housing Authority, doing business as City of Albany, is a U.S. government entity — a public housing authority — that receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to carry out public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and ongoing operational activities. The organization operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of awards are prime grants) with no involvement in federal contracting or subcontracting work.

Albany Housing Authority is structured as a state government entity and self-certified small disadvantaged business, headquartered in Albany, Kentucky. Its federal grant footprint is exclusively concentrated in the Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued 39 awards since 2006 with a combined obligation of $2.1 million. The organization operates under two primary HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational expenses including management, maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and program administration; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, modernization, development, and acquisition activities within constraints of 24 CFR 905 and approved five-year action plans.

Recent grant awards span multiple overlapping periods. Capital Fund grants awarded in May 2025 run through May 2029, and an April 2026 Capital Fund grant runs through March 2030. Operating Fund grants awarded in January 2026 run through December 2032, extending the longest performance period in the current portfolio. Earlier awards from 2022 through 2024 complete between 2026 and 2030. The organization has received two awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure in the near term.

Activity has remained flat at roughly two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026), reflecting the recurring, formula-driven nature of HUD's Public Housing Operating and Capital Fund programs, which distribute grants to thousands of public housing authorities through structured annual or multi-year grant cycles rather than competitive procurement. As a public housing authority, Albany Housing Authority's federal role is to administer HUD grant funds for the benefit of its local public housing residents and portfolio rather than to deliver goods or services to multiple customer agencies.
