Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority

Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority, doing business as Housing Authority Of The County Of Stanislaus, is a U.S. local government entity based in Modesto, California, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and develop affordable public housing serving low-income residents in Stanislaus County. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor and holds no federal contract prime positions.

The authority's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded and concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. Over the past several years, Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority has received approximately 200 federal grants totaling $84.8 million obligated, with the Public and Indian Housing Office accounting for 134 awards and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounting for 60 awards—covering 97% of the authority's federal award portfolio. The authority operates as prime recipient on 97% of awards, with the remaining 3% as a grant sub-recipient.

The authority's primary grant vehicles are formula-based allocations under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services. A $237,857 operating fund allocation runs through December 2032, alongside multiple other operating fund tranches dating back to 2022. The authority also receives capital funding under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) for physical upgrades, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development of public housing units; a $2,561,587 capital fund formula grant runs from April 2026 through March 2030. Project grants include a $241,948 Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program award (CFDA 14.896) for January through December 2026 funding coordinator salaries to deliver employment and economic mobility services, and a $226,566 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program award (CFDA 14.267) effective September 2025 through August 2026 supporting homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing. The authority also received an Economic Development Initiative grant through the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development effective February 2023 through August 2030, and a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grant from the Public and Indian Housing Office effective June 2023 through May 2026.

Activity has remained relatively flat across the past five years, with nine to eleven awards annually between 2022 and 2025, declining to seven awards in 2026. Fourteen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face grant renewal or recompete cycles. Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority's federal engagement is characteristic of local public housing authorities: formula-driven, HUD-centric, operating-and-capital-focused, with supplemental project grants for family services and homelessness initiatives. The authority has no federal contracting footprint and does not bid on competitive federal contracts.
