Carbondale Housing Authority

Carbondale Housing Authority, doing business as Housing Authority Of Carbondale, is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) under two primary HUD formula programs and does not function as a federal contractor or subcontractor.

Carbondale Housing Authority's entire federal footprint concentrates on two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards provide annual subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund awards support modernization, development, rehabilitation, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements to the authority's public housing inventory, with all eligible activities subject to HUD approval under 24 CFR 905.200 and aligned with the authority's five-year action plan. Representative awards include a $1,078,972 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a $222,270 Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a prior Capital Fund award effective May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2028. All awards flow directly from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office; the authority does not compete for task orders under government-wide vehicles or agency IDIQs.

Activity has remained consistent at three awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026), with a combined obligated value of $25 million across sixty total awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to the present. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will cycle through HUD's formula-based reallocation process. The authority's customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, reflecting the statutory structure of Public Housing Authority funding under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
