Housing Authority Of City Of Charles

Housing Authority Of City Of Charles, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, receives formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and improve public housing stock and fund resident support services. The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a federal contractor or subcontractor; all 107 recent federal awards are prime grants with no sub-award activity.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides the largest volume of funding—multiple formula grants obligating $956,239, $1,098,125, and $1,342,796 across different funding cycles through 2031 and 2032—to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses across the Housing Authority's public housing portfolio. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies formula grants for capital improvements, modernization, and development activities; recent awards include $4.7 million obligated on April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2030, to support infrastructure improvements and facility modernization specified in the Housing Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds FSS Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits; the Housing Authority received $102,830 for calendar year 2026 to support employment and economic mobility services, with coordinators responsible for enrolling families, developing individualized training plans, and connecting residents with employment opportunities. The Housing Authority also participates in the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, a project grant awarded June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2028.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 102 of 107 awards (95%); the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development holds the remaining five awards. Recent obligated dollars across all awards total $200.3 million. Activity has remained consistent at five to six awards per year across 2022–2026. Ten awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for formula allocations under the Public Housing Operating Fund and Public Housing Capital Fund programs, both of which operate on multi-year funding cycles typical of HUD housing authority grants.
