Palm Beach County Housing Authority

Palm Beach County Housing Authority, a county government entity headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, is a recipient of federal formula and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office and the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration; the organization does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a vendor selling goods or services to the federal government.

The organization's federal footprint centers on HUD public housing programs. Combined obligated dollars across all 89 prime grant awards total $65.4 million. The portfolio divides into three primary grant streams. Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) formula grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses—property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service—with recent awards of $193,540 (January 2026–December 2032) and $310,342 (January 2026–December 2032). Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grants fund capital improvements, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and modernization of public housing units, with recent awards including $1,504,843 (April 2026–March 2030), $1,035,898 (July 2025–July 2027), and $4,864,234 (September 2023–September 2027). Family Self-Sufficiency (CFDA 14.896) project grants fund salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators delivering employment and economic mobility services to low-income families; recent awards include $157,200 (January–December 2026). Palm Beach County Housing Authority also received a $1,500,000 YouthBuild project grant from the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (June 2023–September 2026) to operate a youth workforce development program in West Palm Beach serving disconnected youth ages 16–24 with construction industry training and GED attainment.

The organization's customer base is highly concentrated: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 88 of 89 awards (100% coverage of the award count ranking). Seven awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure. Recent annual award volume shows a slight decline—four awards in 2022 to four in 2026, with intermediate peaks of seven in 2023 and 2024. As a U.S. local government housing authority, Palm Beach County Housing Authority is not a federal contractor, subcontractor, or sub-recipient on vendor contracts; it is an eligible direct recipient of housing and workforce development formula and project grants under HUD and DOL programs serving low-income residents and disconnected youth in Palm Beach County.
