Nashua Housing And Redevelopment Authority

Nashua Housing and Redevelopment Authority, a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing agency based in Nashua, New Hampshire, receives federal housing grants directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a formula-grant recipient under two primary federal programs — not as a federal contractor. The authority acts as a prime recipient in all 74 recent awards and does not subcontract its grant work.

Nashua Housing and Redevelopment Authority administers two core HUD grant programs serving low-income residents in Nashua. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the authority receives formula grants to fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, 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. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the authority receives formula grants to fund capital and management activities including modernization and development of public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements. Recent awards include a $1,962,736 Public Housing Capital Fund grant (effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), a $426,222 Public Housing Operating Fund grant (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), and a $646,316 Public Housing Operating Fund grant (also effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). All grants are formula-based allocations determined by inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, and require no competitive application. The authority administers funds directly with no identified sub-awardees and complies with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole meaningful customer, accounting for 67 of 74 awards (100% coverage). The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development places the remaining 7 awards. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $68.8 million. Activity has remained flat at three awards annually over the past five years (2022–2026). Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal in that window.
