Montgomery County Housing Authority

Montgomery County Housing Authority, a not-for-profit public housing agency headquartered in Norriton, Pennsylvania, acts as a recipient of federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to operate and improve public housing serving low-income residents in Montgomery County. The organization does not hold federal contracts and operates entirely in the grant-funded space, with 99% of its recent federal award footprint rooted in formula grants and project grants from HUD.

The authority's grant portfolio is heavily concentrated with a single customer. HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 140 of 143 total awards (99% of the award count), with supplementary funding from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (one award) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (one award). Across all sources, the authority has obligated $68.9 million in combined federal funding over its award history dating to 2006.

Montgomery County Housing Authority's core grant work centers on three recurring HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation. Recent Operating Fund awards include multiple allocations of $194,533, $266,174, and $411,090 running through 2031 and 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) delivers formula grants for capital improvements, public housing modernization, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency work, emergency repairs, and development of additional units. A representative capital award of $1,529,248 covers the period April 2026 through March 2030. The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program funds FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits under project grant awards; the authority has received FSS awards for calendar-year periods, with the most recent running through December 2026 and earlier cycles through December 2024. A secondary project award from HUD's Community Planning and Development office supported an Economic Development Initiative community project funding activity running through August 2030. The authority also received a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative project grant (June 2023 through May 2026) under the Public and Indian Housing Office.

Activity over the past five years has remained stable in the four to nine awards per year range, with no pronounced growth or contraction trajectory. Eight awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete or renewal window exposure. The authority has engaged in minimal subcontracting; one identified sub-award relates to the Rehabilitation of Robert Smith Tower under a grant agreement dated October 2024. The authority's federal footprint is entirely grant-recipient work rather than prime contracting, with no position on government-wide acquisition vehicles, multiple-award schedules, or task order vehicles.
