Housing Authority Of City Of Marion

Housing Authority Of City Of Marion, doing business as Marion Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Marion, Indiana that receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and improve its public housing portfolio. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a federal contractor; it holds no federal contracts, subcontracts, or prime contract vehicles.

Marion Housing Authority's grant portfolio focuses on three core HUD programs spanning operations, capital improvements, and resident economic mobility. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supplies recurring formula grants to support day-to-day property management, maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional public housing units, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) provides project grants to fund FSS Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. Recent awards include a $726,891 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 2026–March 2030), a $112,354 Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant (January–December 2026), and recurring Public Housing Operating Fund allocations of $195,135 and $148,376 (January 2026–December 2032). The authority also received a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grant (June 2025–May 2028).

Marion Housing Authority accounts for 77 of 78 total awards in its federal footprint, with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as the sole meaningful customer (100% of awards). Award activity has remained flat year over year across the past five years, with four to five awards annually. Six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing routine operating and capital grant renewals rather than discretionary competitive opportunities. The authority does not engage in federal procurement, subcontracting, or participation on government-wide acquisition vehicles; its federal relationship is limited to formula-based and project-based grant administration under the 1937 Housing Act as amended.
