Housing Authority Of Washington County

Housing Authority Of Washington County, a tax-exempt corporate entity based in Hagerstown, Maryland, is a recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program (CFDA 14.896). The authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contract work and no subcontractor relationships; all 26 awards in the source data span grant awards from HUD.

Housing Authority Of Washington County receives recurring annual FSS grants to fund salary and fringe benefits for FSS program coordinators who serve residents of public housing, housing choice vouchers, and project-based rental assistance properties. Coordinators are responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, developing individual training and services plans with participants, and building employer and community service partnerships. The authority maintains a minimum threshold of participating families based on the number of funded coordinator positions — at least 25 families for the first coordinator position, increasing by 50 families for each additional funded position. Representative grants include awards for calendar year 2026 (Jan 1–Dec 31, 2026), 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, all from the Public and Indian Housing Office under the FSS program. The combined dollars obligated across all 26 awards totals $2.1 million, reflecting the narrow, specialized nature of the FSS grant footprint. Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, the sole funding source. Award activity has remained flat at one grant per calendar year for the past five years (2022 through 2026). One award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete opportunity. The authority does not hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or schedule positions.
