Melbourne Housing Authority

Melbourne Housing Authority, a tribal government housing authority based in Melbourne, Florida, receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing units serving low-income residents. The authority functions exclusively as a prime grant recipient under two HUD formula programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

Melbourne Housing Authority's entire federal footprint concentrates with a single customer—HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office—which accounts for all 36 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 through the present. Recent awards include a $260,372 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida, and a $462,539 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, funding capital improvements, construction, equipment upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, and management improvements. A third recent capital-fund award dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029, rounds out the active portfolio. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $14.8 million over two decades.

Activity has remained steady at approximately two awards per year for the past five years (2022 through 2026), with no sub-award activity. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's near-term recompete window. Melbourne Housing Authority operates solely as a prime recipient rather than as a federal contractor or subcontractor; it does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. The authority's role is limited to administering formula-grant funds for routine housing operations, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and HUD program regulations.
