Housing Authority Of City Of Burling

Housing Authority Of City Of Burling is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Burlington, New Jersey 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 operations, capital improvements, and modernization activities. The authority operates as a grant recipient (100% of recent federal awards) rather than a federal contractor or subcontractor, with no involvement in federal contract vehicles or commercial subcontracting relationships.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Capital Fund grants support physical infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development-related costs, and financing activities that enhance or expand the public housing inventory in compliance with 24 CFR 905.200. Operating Fund grants subsidize day-to-day operational expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The authority administers these grants directly with no documented sub-recipients and manages capital activities across its public housing portfolio independently. Representative recent awards include a $245,415 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a Public Housing Operating Fund award spanning January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031, and prior-year Capital Fund grants running from 2022 through 2029.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the authority's 40 awards in the source data, with a combined obligated dollar value of $6.6 million across the full award history since 2006. Activity has remained steady at two awards per year for the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete opportunity for HUD formula grant cycles. The authority's federal engagement is characteristic of public housing agencies nationwide, which serve approximately one million housing units across roughly 2,770 agencies under HUD's statutory authority under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
