Housing Authority Of The City Of Boston

Housing Authority Of The City Of Boston is a non-profit public housing agency that receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a formula-grant recipient, operating exclusively within HUD's public housing programs and serving as a 100% prime recipient with no federal contract work or subcontract engagements.

The vendor is a child entity of Housing Authority Of Thomasville, a federally recognized Indian tribe-affiliated non-profit organization based in Thomasville, Georgia. Boston Housing Authority operates as a non-profit public housing authority administering federal formula grants for public housing capital and operating fund programs in the Boston area.

Boston's federal footprint consists entirely of formula-grant allocations under two HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides grants for housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related financing activities supporting Boston's public housing portfolio. The Public Housing Operating Fund (PHOPFund) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation across Boston's public housing units. Recent awards include a $131,272 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, for capital modernization and management activities; a Public Housing Operating Fund award running January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund award effective May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029.

Boston Housing Authority's activity reflects the recurring, predictable cycle of formula-grant allocations typical of public housing authorities: two awards per year across 2022–2026, with a total of 40 awards spanning from July 2006 to April 2026, combining for $4.1 million in total obligated federal dollars. The entire customer base is HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the standard recompete window for formula grants in the public housing program. The organization does not compete for federal contracts, sit on government-wide contract vehicles, or engage as a federal contractor or subcontractor — its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based public housing administration.
