Presque Isle Housing Authority

Presque Isle Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Presque Isle, Maine, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain its public housing portfolio serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD programs and does not hold federal contracts or participate in competitive procurement vehicles.

Presque Isle Housing Authority's federal funding footprint consists entirely of formula-based grants under three HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supports 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. Recent Operating Fund awards include a $475,009 allocation effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances capital and management activities including modernization of existing units, infrastructure improvements, safety and security enhancements, and financing activities such as debt service payments. A representative capital allocation of $706,287 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 supports deferred maintenance and aging facility upgrades across the authority's public housing inventory. The authority also receives targeted emergency funding through HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund Safety and Security set-aside, a lottery-based grant program capped at $250,000 per application and reserved for emergency safety and security needs that cannot be absorbed within annual capital allocations. The authority received a Safety and Security Emergency grant effective June 20, 2024 through June 19, 2026. Additionally, the authority participates in HUD's Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, a project grant effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2028, focused on resident supportive services and employment initiatives.

Since 2022, Presque Isle Housing Authority has received 46 federal awards totaling $24.5 million obligated in combined dollars, all from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Award volume has remained relatively flat, ranging between two and three awards annually over the past five years. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing renewal or reallocation cycles typical of formula grant administration. The authority operates no federal contracts, subcontracts, or participation in government-wide acquisition vehicles; its federal funding relationship is exclusively that of a formula grant recipient under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
