Lee County Housing Authority

Lee County Housing Authority, a local government entity based in North Fort Myers, Florida, receives federal housing-administration grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office and supplementary disaster-recovery sub-awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, operating as a prime grant recipient rather than a federal contractor.

Lee County Housing Authority's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 81 of 86 total awards (94% of activity). The Authority receives recurring formula grants under three primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), supporting capital improvements, modernization, development, and infrastructure upgrades to public housing inventory; the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), providing operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA funding for coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support workforce development and economic mobility for public housing residents). The Authority also received a project grant under the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative from June 2022 through May 2025. Recent representative awards include a $598,893 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $175,545 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). Four additional sub-awards flow through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management, stemming from disaster-recovery work following 2022 emergency protective measures and debris removal associated with housing-complex recovery, awarded between May 2022 and June 2025.

The Authority's funding profile is static and government-administered: all capital and operating support derives from formula allocations rather than competitive selection, reflecting Lee County Housing Authority's role as a custodian of public housing inventory serving low-income residents in North Fort Myers. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $19.6 million over the portfolio history. Five awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure limited to renewal of ongoing formula-grant allocations rather than competitive procurement risk. The Authority does not hold federal contracts, seat itself on GSA schedules or government-wide IDIQs, or pursue task-order work; it is a housing authority that administers federal housing subsidies and capital programs on behalf of residents and properties within its jurisdiction.
