Leominster Housing Authority

Leominster Housing Authority, doing business as LHA, is a U.S. local government entity and municipal housing authority based in Leominster, Massachusetts, that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. LHA does not hold federal contracts or compete on commercial procurement vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of HUD project grants funding the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program.

LHA receives recurring annual FSS grants to fund salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators who serve public housing and Housing Choice Voucher residents. The FSS program, governed by Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act, requires coordinators to enroll and maintain families in employment-focused services, prepare individual training and services plans, and build partnerships with employers and community service providers. For each funded coordinator position, LHA must serve a minimum of 25 participating families in the first position and an additional 50 families per coordinator thereafter. Recent FSS awards span calendar years 2022 through 2026, with the most recent grant covering the period January 1 through December 31, 2026.

LHA's federal award footprint is narrow and stable. All ten awards in the source data are FSS grants from HUD, with one award reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (the 2026 calendar-year grant ending December 31, 2026). Combined obligated dollars across the ten-award portfolio total $756 thousand, reflecting the modest scale of individual FSS coordinator funding allocations. The vendor serves a single federal customer agency and generates one new award annually, suggesting a stable but limited federal grant engagement with no pipeline beyond the current fiscal year visible in the source data. LHA competes exclusively under the FSS program's renewal-applicant statutory priority framework rather than on full-and-open basis.
