Beaver County Housing Authorty

Beaver County Housing Authority, doing business as Riverview Apartments Associates, is a U.S. local government entity and county housing authority headquartered in Beaver, Pennsylvania that receives federal grants as a recipient to operate and modernize public housing, fund homelessness prevention and supportive housing, and administer weatherization assistance programs. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (97% of awards as prime recipient) with no federal contract prime or IDIQ positions; it does act as a sub-recipient on weatherization programs managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development.

The authority's federal footprint centers on three primary grant programs from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses across the authority's public housing portfolio serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities in Beaver County; recent operating fund grants span January 2026 through December 2032 with individual award amounts ranging from $127,181 to $740,173 per grant tranche. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies formula grants for capital improvements, modernization, development, and infrastructure upgrades; the most recent capital award of $5.76 million, dated April 1, 2026, runs through March 31, 2030 and supports HUD-approved five-year action plan activities including emergency repairs and energy efficiency work. The Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), administered by HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awards project grants for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and homelessness prevention; recent CoC awards from August 2025 onward carry individual amounts of $260,968 to $740,173 with twelve-month performance periods. The authority has managed over $2.6 million in cumulative CoC awards since 2021.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular by design. The Department of Housing and Urban Development dominates 100% of the award count, split between HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (240 awards for operating and capital funds) and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (38 awards for CoC grants). The authority also holds 8 awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and 2 from the Department of Energy; these likely represent weatherization sub-awards routed through Pennsylvania state entities.

As a sub-recipient, the authority participates in Pennsylvania's Weatherization Assistance Program under master agreements running 2020–2025 and 2022–2027, receiving sub-awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (which administers the Crisis Interface Program for heating emergencies) and the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development. Recent weatherization sub-awards date to January 2026, February 2024, August 2023, April 2023, January 2023, and September 2022.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years—16 awards in 2022 to 12 in 2026 (year-to-date)—with 14 awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete or renewal. Total obligated dollars across all 288 awards since 2004 stand at $218 million, reflecting the recurring nature of annual formula grant allocations. The authority's role is institutional and non-competitive; federal housing authorities receive formula-based allocations under the Housing Act of 1937 rather than competing for discretionary awards.
