Housing Authority Of The City Of Salem

Housing Authority Of The City Of Salem operates as a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority, serving as the prime recipient of formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing operations and capital improvements in Salem, New Jersey. The Authority does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of HUD grant funding under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

The Authority's grant portfolio totals 45 awards spanning the past two decades, with $28.5 million in combined dollars obligated across the entire award history. All 45 awards originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100% customer concentration. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant of $779,138 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, funding public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and related management enhancements. A concurrent Public Housing Operating Fund award of $507,867 covers January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 and funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Authority also holds earlier-vintage Capital Fund awards (May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2028, and May 12, 2022 through May 11, 2026) and Operating Fund awards running through 2030 and 2028, respectively.

Activity has remained sparse and variable over the past five years—two awards in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026—reflecting the formula-grant nature of HUD's public housing programs rather than competitive procurement. Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no subcontract relationships or teaming arrangements in the federal footprint. As a municipal housing authority, it is not an SBA-designated small business, 8(a) firm, or minority-owned entity.
