Housing Authority

Housing Authority of the City of Apalachicola is a U.S. local government entity that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure repairs, and operating expenses in Apalachicola, Florida. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a federal contractor or subcontractor, and draws all of its federal funding from a single grantor agency.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants distributed under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Capital Fund grants support development, modernization, emergency repairs, and financing costs associated with the agency's public housing inventory; Operating Fund grants subsidize day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, administrative costs, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance. Recent capital grants include a $186,624 formula allocation effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a prior capital fund award effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. Operating Fund grants run concurrent multi-year cycles—the current award spans January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, with a predecessor award covering January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. Both programs operate as formula-based allocations distributed to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide; the authority does not compete for these funds through application processes but receives allocations determined by established formulas reflecting its inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

Activity has been consistent at two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026), with forty-one total awards in the source data spanning from 2006 forward and a combined obligation of $5.9 million. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority has received no federal contracts, IDVs, BPAs, or GWACs; all federal revenue flows exclusively through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office formula grant programs, and the authority maintains no sub-award or teaming relationships in federal procurement.
