Housing Authority Of The Town Of Van Buren

Housing Authority Of The Town Of Van Buren, a U.S. government entity and public housing authority based in Van Buren, Maine, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to support public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents.

The authority operates exclusively within HUD's Public Housing program. Across its 36 awards in the source data, spanning from 2006 through April 2026, the Housing Authority has received $13.3 million in combined obligation dollars, all from a single customer agency — the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives formula-grant awards under two primary federal grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which finances capital improvement activities including housing modernization, development, property management enhancements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs. Operating Fund grants typically run five to seven years; Capital Fund awards run four to five years. Representative recent awards include a $266,667 Public Housing Operating Fund grant running through December 31, 2032, a $343,399 Public Housing Capital Fund grant running through March 31, 2030 (both effective January and April 2026 respectively), and earlier Capital Fund awards from May 2024 and February 2023. All expenditures comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD regulations (24 CFR Part 905), with work performed in accordance with the authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan.

Activity has remained flat — two awards per year for the last five years — with two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. The authority maintains no subcontractor relationships and does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, or BPAs; its federal footprint consists entirely of formula grant receipts from HUD's Public Housing program, which serves approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationally. As a public housing authority rather than a federal contractor, the Housing Authority Of The Town Of Van Buren is not a competitive procurement target or a subcontracting opportunity, but operates as a direct federal grant recipient managing public housing inventory for low-income and elderly residents in Van Buren.
