The Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on two core federal programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses.

The Housing Authority also participates in the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative, a project grant under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded June 1, 2024, with completion scheduled for May 31, 2027, supporting employment and economic opportunity initiatives.
