Logan County Metropolitan Housing Authority

Logan County Metropolitan Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Bellefontaine, Ohio, receives federal grant funding exclusively from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units serving low-income residents in Logan County. The Authority acts as a prime grant recipient, not a contractor; it does not compete for federal contracts and holds no contract vehicles.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula and project grants under three HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Recent awards in this program include a $215,019 operating grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) and an earlier award running through December 31, 2031. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) furnishes formula grants for capital activities, modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities. The Authority received a $295,322 four-year capital grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, with earlier capital awards spanning completion dates through May 2029. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act) funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement employment and self-sufficiency services for public housing residents and housing choice voucher participants. FSS grants in the Authority's portfolio (January 1, 2026 and January 1, 2025, among recent awards) support coordinator positions and require the Authority to serve minimum family participation levels tied to each funded coordinator position. A single emergency safety and security grant (awarded June 20, 2024, completing June 19, 2026) provided one-time capital assistance for crime and drug-related safety needs, capped at $250,000.

Recent grant activity has remained steady at three awards annually across 2023 through 2026. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating renewal and recompete cycles under HUD's formula-based and competitive allocation methodologies. The Authority's customer concentration is singular — the Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the 56 awards in source data spanning from 2006 through April 2026, with $12.8 million in combined obligated dollars. The Authority operates within one of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationally serving nearly one million housing units; its service population includes 44% elderly residents and 35% families with children.
