Newburyport Housing Authority

Newburyport Housing Authority is a local government entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since June 18, 2009, with current registration valid until October 1, 2025. As a U.S. Local Government and Housing Authority, the organization primarily focuses on providing affordable housing services to low-income residents in the Newburyport area. The agency is structured as a public housing administrative body dedicated to managing and maintaining public housing units, ensuring safe and affordable living environments for eligible individuals, including low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities.

Through its federal grant awards, primarily from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office, Newburyport Housing Authority has consistently received formula grants supporting public housing operations and capital improvements. The agency has been awarded multiple grants, including the Public Housing Operating Fund and Public Housing Capital Fund programs, which total approximately $108,484 in recent years. These grants enable the authority to perform critical activities such as day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and capital improvements. The grants specifically support development, modernization, and financing of public housing units, ensuring that housing stock meets federal standards for decent, safe, and sanitary living conditions. The funding allows the housing authority to maintain high occupancy rates, implement energy efficiency measures, and provide essential services that improve residents' quality of life while adhering to HUD's strategic goals of promoting affordable housing and inclusive communities.
