Department Of Housing & Community Development Massachusetts

Tewksbury Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity and public housing authority operating under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, receives formula grant allocations from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and modernization activities serving low-income residents in Tewksbury, Massachusetts.

Tewksbury Housing Authority is a child entity of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and operates as a primary recipient of federal formula grants with no contract prime or subcontractor footprint. All 39 awards in the source span federal grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, delivered as a pure grant recipient with no contracting activity.

The authority's grant portfolio concentrates entirely on two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Capital Fund grants support modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades under HUD-approved 5-year action plans or emergency-work authorizations, consistent with 24 CFR Part 905. Operating Fund grants provide subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs. Recent representative awards include a $131,163 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant running January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a prior Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion May 5, 2028. All awards carry formula-grant structure, meaning Tewksbury Housing Authority receives an annual allocation as one of approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide serving nearly one million public housing units.

Award activity is flat and modest in scale. The authority received two awards annually over the past five years (2022–2026), with combined dollars obligated across all 39 awards totaling $3.1 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Customer concentration is absolute: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of awards. The authority's federal role is limited to direct grant receipt and program compliance; it does not bid for federal contracts, sit on government-wide vehicles, or engage in subcontracting relationships with federal prime contractors.
