New Castle Housing Authority

New Castle Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in New Castle, Indiana, receives federal operating and capital grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to maintain and improve public housing inventory serving low-income residents.

The authority operates as a prime recipient under two formula grant programs within HUD's Public Housing portfolio. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides ongoing operational subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses; the most recent operating fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 carries $131,635 in obligated funding. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital improvements, modernization, development, and infrastructure work; recent capital fund awards include a $423,957 grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 and a prior award effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. Both programs are formula-based, meaning the authority receives annual or periodic allocations according to statutory distribution methodologies rather than competitive procurement.

New Castle Housing Authority's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated: all 41 awards in the source data represent HUD Public and Indian Housing Office funding, with no contract work, no subcontractor roles, and no diversification across agencies. Combined obligated dollars across the award history total $11.3 million. Award frequency has remained flat at two awards per calendar year for the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. The authority does not participate in federal contract vehicles, does not hold federal contract prime positions, and does not act as a subcontractor; its role is exclusively as a direct HUD grant recipient administering public housing operations and capital projects within its service area.
