Housing Authority Of Boston

Housing Authority of Boston is a U.S. local government housing authority located in Brilliant, Alabama, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements. The entity does not compete for or hold federal contracts; it operates exclusively under HUD formula grant programs and is not a contractor, subcontractor, or sub-recipient to private or other federal entities.

Housing Authority of Boston's entire federal footprint — 41 awards totaling $8.1 million in combined obligated dollars across twenty years — flows through two HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating and maintenance subsidies for day-to-day public housing expenses, including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative overhead. Recent Operating Fund awards include $243,494 for the period January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including construction, acquisition, modernization, and development work that adds to or significantly reconfigures public housing units in the authority's inventory. Recent Capital Fund awards include $255,940 for the period April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and an earlier tranche dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029.

The authority's award pattern shows consistent, modest-volume activity — two awards per year for the past five years — with all funding concentrated in HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Work is performed in Brilliant, Alabama. The authority operates as a prime recipient, manages federal resources directly without delegating to sub-recipients in the award documentation, and maintains public housing inventory data in the HUD Information Management System/Public Housing Information Center system per audit and certification requirements under 2 CFR 200. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering formula-grant reallocation cycles typical for public housing authorities. Housing Authority of Boston does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, prime contracts, or indirect relationships with federal contractors; for federal contractors, the entity is neither a customer nor a teaming opportunity.
