Jackson Metropolitan Housing Authority

Jackson Metropolitan Housing Authority, a local government entity located in Wellston, Ohio, operates as a direct federal grant recipient administering HUD public housing programs and is not a federal contractor or subcontractor. JMHA's entire federal footprint comprises 54 grant awards exclusively from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office across three primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS).

JMHA's grant portfolio funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units serving low-income residents in the Jackson metropolitan area. Operating Fund grants support property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund grants enable physical maintenance, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that maintain or enhance JMHA's public housing inventory under HUD-approved five-year action plans, with eligible activities specified in 24 CFR 905.200. Family Self-Sufficiency Program awards fund salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who enroll and maintain families in employment and self-sufficiency programming, build individual training and services plans, and establish employer and service-provider partnerships. Representative recent awards include a $445,663 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $228,498 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.

Activity has remained flat at three awards per year over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all 54 awards totaling $16.2 million. All work is performed as a direct recipient with no sub-awardees; JMHA receives and implements federal funds directly rather than passing them to subordinate entities. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete activity in that window. JMHA's customer base is entirely concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (52 of 54 awards), with two ancillary Federal Emergency Management Agency awards. As a public housing authority, JMHA does not compete for federal contracts and maintains no presence on federal contracting vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs.
