Housing Authority Of Jackson County

Housing Authority of Jackson County, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Medford, Oregon, is a prime recipient of federal grants for workforce development and economic mobility services delivered to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. The Housing Authority does not hold federal contracts and does not operate as a subcontractor on federal procurements; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant receipts from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The Housing Authority's customer base is concentrated on a single federal agency. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for all 20 prime grant awards in the source record, with combined obligated dollars of $66.1 million across twenty years of activity. A single sub-award, dated April 30, 2025, appears in the record with minimal detail.

The Housing Authority's capability portfolio centers on the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program under CFDA 14.896. The program funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who provide employment and economic mobility services to public housing residents, Housing Choice Voucher holders, and project-based rental assistance participants. Coordinators enroll and maintain families in the program, develop individualized training and services plans, connect participants with employment resources and community service providers, and establish partnerships with local employers. Recent grant awards include a $220,582 Project Grant awarded January 1, 2026 (performance period ending December 31, 2026), and a prior-year award issued January 1, 2025 (performance period ending December 31, 2025). The grant structure requires the Housing Authority to maintain minimum participant-enrollment thresholds — at least 25 families per full-time equivalent coordinator position, with 50 additional families for each additional funded coordinator — and supports participating families over five-to-seven-year commitment periods to achieve increased employment, wages, and long-term economic self-sufficiency.

Activity has been steady but sparse. The Housing Authority received one award in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.
