Housing Authority Of The City Of Dubois

Housing Authority Of The City Of Dubois (doing business as DU Bois Housing Authority) is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in DuBois, Pennsylvania, that receives formula grants and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents. The authority operates as a prime grant recipient, not as a federal contractor or subcontractor; it holds no federal contracts, IDVs, or GSA vehicles and has no prime contractor relationships.

DU Bois Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.872, 14.850) and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (Continuum of Care Program). The authority has received twelve grants across the past four years, with recent awards including a $576,932 formula grant under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) dated April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities for public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs in DuBois; a $215,110 operating subsidy under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses; and a $249,990 emergency capital grant awarded September 18, 2025, through a lottery-based set-aside targeting safety and security improvements within the authority's portfolio.

Customer concentration is singular and immobile — HUD accounts for 100% of the authority's 52 total awards and $22.2 million in obligated dollars. The Public and Indian Housing Office anchors 37 awards (formula grants under the Capital Fund and Operating Fund programs), while the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development holds 15 awards (Continuum of Care project grants, CFDA 17.010). Activity has been flat at three awards per calendar year from 2022 through 2025, with two awards recorded in 2026. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face renewal or recompete pending HUD's fiscal appropriations and formula allocation cycles.

The authority's grant activities are restricted to statutory eligible uses under 24 CFR Part 905 and the Public Housing Operating Fund regulations — public housing development, modernization, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security improvements, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. All work must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and expenditures are limited to activities specified in the authority's five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. No subcontractors or sub-recipients are identified in the award documentation; the authority manages all grants independently.
