Housing Authority Of City Of San BUE

Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Ventura, California, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across four federal agencies, with the overwhelming majority of its awards flowing from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The Authority does not hold federal contracts and operates entirely within the federal grant space, with 100% of its 140 recent awards issued as a prime recipient rather than as a subrecipient.

The Authority's federal footprint is dominated by formula grants and project grants under the Housing Act of 1937 and related legislation. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.872) has issued 124 awards across three core programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund, which provides formula-based grants for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements; the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not separately identified in source), which supports day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for the Authority's public housing inventory; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds coordinator salary and fringe benefits for employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher programs, and project-based rental assistance. Representative recent awards include a $849 thousand Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant obligated April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030; a $115 thousand Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant (January 1 through December 31, 2026) for FSS coordinator salary support; and recurring Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants running through 2032. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development has issued 14 awards, including an Economic Development Initiative / Community Project Funding award (August 13, 2024, completion August 31, 2032) and a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative project grant (June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027). The Authority also holds a single Affordable Connectivity Outreach Grant Program award from the Federal Communications Commission (August 9, 2023), supporting broadband awareness and participation among eligible low-income households.

The Authority's combined federal dollars obligated across all 140 awards total $40.7 million. Customer concentration is extreme: the Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 124 of 140 awards (88% coverage), while the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development holds 14 awards (10%). Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (6 awards in 2022, 7 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 5 most recent in 2026). Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure.
