Northampton Housing Authority

Northampton Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and municipal housing authority based in Northampton, Massachusetts, is the recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient (100% of awards) under two primary HUD grant programs and receives no federal contract work.

The Authority's federal footprint centers on two HUD formula grant programs, both administered through the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital and management resources for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related facility enhancements. A representative award granted April 1, 2026, carries $318,688 in potential value through March 31, 2030, and finances eligible activities specified in the Authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or emergency work. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance and operational expenses, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Authority received a $230,636 operating grant covering January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Both programs operate as formula grants tied to the Authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents, with funding allocated under 2 CFR Part 200 compliance requirements.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of the Authority's 42 federal awards across the portfolio. The Public and Indian Housing Office issued 39 awards; the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development issued 3 awards. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $15.1 million. Activity remains flat at two awards annually across the past five years, with the most recent award dated April 1, 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, six awards reach ultimate completion date and therefore face recompete or renewal processes. The Authority operates no federal contracts, serves no subcontractor role, and engages no prime contractors — the grant footprint is direct federal funding to support the Authority's housing inventory and resident services mission.
