Housing Authority Of The County Of San Bernardino

Housing Authority Of The County Of San Bernardino is a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing agency based in San Bernardino, California, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on public housing administration, homelessness intervention, and family economic self-sufficiency programs across San Bernardino County. The organization receives federal funding almost exclusively from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; 99 percent of its 211 recent federal awards are direct prime grants rather than subcontracts.

HUD funding splits between the Public and Indian Housing Office (134 awards) and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (74 awards), reflecting the breadth of HACSB's mission. Under the Public and Indian Housing Office, HACSB receives recurring formula grants for the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.506), which covers day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, management, anti-crime and security activities, resident supportive services, and energy costs for public housing units. HACSB also receives formula grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.871) to fund capital improvements, modernization, and development of additional public housing units; the most recent award dated May 13, 2025, runs through May 12, 2029. The organization receives annual project grants under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds FSS Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to enroll families in training and employment services and build partnerships with employers and service providers; a $440,000 award effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, exemplifies this category.

Under the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, HACSB is a heavy user of the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), receiving recurring annual project grants to establish and operate permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and homelessness prevention services. Recent awards include a $5.46 million CoC grant awarded November 1, 2025, running through November 30, 2026; a $4.185 million award dated November 1, 2024; and a $214,358 award completed November 30, 2025. In a limited subrecipient capacity, HACSB has delivered rapid rehousing services for homeless families and tenancy support for Emergency Housing Voucher recipients in partnership with San Bernardino County under CoC funding dated April 2024. HACSB also holds an Economic Development Initiative project grant under congressional directed spending authority, awarded August 13, 2024, with completion extending through August 31, 2032.

Activity has remained relatively flat across the past five years—ranging from 9 awards in 2022 down to 3 awards year-to-date in 2026—with a combined obligated amount of $173.8 million. Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure for HACSB. Customer concentration is absolute: HUD accounts for 99 percent of awards across its two operating divisions, with one negligible award from the Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration. HACSB operates exclusively within HUD's public housing and homelessness-prevention grant structure and does not compete on federal contracts or commercial procurement vehicles.
