Housing Authority Of The County Of Luzerne

Housing Authority Of The County Of Luzerne receives federal grant funding directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a public housing agency recipient under formula grant programs; the entity is a tax-exempt corporate entity headquartered in Kingston, Pennsylvania, and serves as a prime recipient on 100% of its federal awards with no subcontracting activity.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively within two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation expenses. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, and management improvements, including construction, rehabilitation, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and infrastructure improvements to the authority's public housing inventory throughout Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Recent awards include a $3.88 million Public Housing Capital Fund grant (CFDA 14.872) awarded April 1, 2026, obligated through March 31, 2030; a $843,848 Public Housing Operating Fund grant (CFDA 14.850) awarded January 1, 2026, obligated through December 31, 2032; and a $789,659 Operating Fund grant (CFDA 14.850) also awarded January 1, 2026, obligated through December 31, 2032.

The Housing Authority's federal funding is entirely concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 89 awards in the source data spanning from July 2006 through April 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $125.2 million, with consistent annual award activity at four awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window.
