Housing Authority City Of Linden

Housing Authority City of Linden is a municipal public housing authority based in Linden, New Jersey, that receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and modernize public housing units serving low-income residents. The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient — 100% of its award footprint consists of direct prime awards from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contract work and no subcontractor engagements across the source data.

The Housing Authority's grant portfolio consists entirely of formula-based allocations under two core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses necessary to maintain adequate operating reserves and service delivery. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides modernization and development funding to support construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and related capital and financing activities. The Housing Authority also holds a project grant from the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, a supportive-services and job-training program under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Recent representative awards include a $443,079 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 2026 through March 2030) supporting modernization and development activities in the Housing Authority's inventory; a $360,544 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant (January 2026 through December 2032) for operational and maintenance expenses; and an earlier $443,079 Public Housing Capital Fund award (May 2024 through May 2028). The Housing Authority has received 44 federal grants since 2006, with combined dollars obligated of $17.6 million. All funding flows from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing a customer concentration of 100% across the award footprint. Activity has been stable at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete cycles for formula allocations in that window. The Housing Authority operates as the sole federal grant recipient for its own operational and capital accounts; it does not subcontract federal grant work to other vendors and does not compete for federal contracts.
