Housing Authority Of Gloucester County

Housing Authority Of Gloucester County, a U.S. government entity and county-level public housing authority based in Deptford Township, New Jersey, is a recipient of HUD formula and project grants supporting public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident economic mobility programs — not a federal contractor and does not compete for procurement contracts. The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contract prime awards, no subcontract involvement, and no participation in federal procurement vehicles.

The Housing Authority's federal grant footprint centers on three recurring HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses across the authority's public housing portfolio, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Recent awards include a $103,363 operating fund grant through December 31, 2032, a $181,984 operating fund grant through December 31, 2032, and a $176,533 operating fund grant through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, and related financing costs specified in the authority's five-year action plan or approved for emergency work. The authority received a $768,008 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a $768,008 capital fund grant effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) provides project grants to fund FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits supporting employment and economic mobility services for low-income residents; the authority received a $131,710 FSS project grant for calendar year 2026. The authority also received a project grant under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2028.

The authority's customer base is entirely HUD: 98 of 99 awards derive from the Public and Indian Housing Office, with one award from the Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $29.8 million, with eight awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Activity has remained steady over the past five years, averaging five to seven awards annually (2022–2026), with the most recent grant award dated April 1, 2026. The authority's grant work is entirely formula-based or project-grant allocations tied to its statutory role as a local housing provider; it does not engage in competitive procurement and does not sell services or goods to the federal government.
