Macclenny Housing Authority

Macclenny Housing Authority, doing business as Baker CO. Hsg. Assistance, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Macclenny, Florida, that receives federal grants for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a contractor or subcontractor; all 43 awards in its recent portfolio are direct grants under two HUD programs spanning 2022 through 2026.

The authority's grant footprint centers on two federal programs with formula-based allocations. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), Macclenny Housing Authority has received multiple awards funding public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development projects, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and routine maintenance for low-income residents in Baker County. Recent Capital Fund grants include a $271,195 award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a prior $116,598 award dated January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031, and an earlier $271,195 allocation dated May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2028. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the authority receives subsidies covering day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative implementation costs. A $116,598 Operating Fund grant runs January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; an earlier $116,598 allocation covers January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is Macclenny Housing Authority's sole federal funding source, accounting for 100% of recent awards. Combined dollars obligated across all 43 grants total $7.9 million. The authority does not hold federal contracts, participate in federal contract vehicles, sit on GWACs or BPAs, or subcontract with prime contractors. Activity has remained steady at two awards per year since 2022. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete or renewal timelines typical of HUD's formula-grant cycles. All grant expenditures remain subject to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and must align with the authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan or be approved for emergency or disaster recovery work.
