Sacramento Housing And Redevelopment Agency

Sacramento City Housing Authority, a division of the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, is a U.S. local government entity that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other federal agencies as a prime recipient (98% of awards). The Authority does not compete for federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants and project grants for public housing operations, affordable housing development, and homelessness assistance programs serving low-income residents in Sacramento, California.

The Authority's grant portfolio centers on HUD programs administered through two offices. The Public and Indian Housing Office funds public housing operations and capital improvements: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, anti-crime activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances modernization, development, and emergency safety and security improvements to public housing units. The Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds affordable housing and homelessness response: the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) supports rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, and acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing; the Emergency Solutions Grant (CFDA 14.231) funds street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing assistance; the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA, CFDA 14.611) provides permanent supportive housing and related services for low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS; the Community Development Block Grant (CFDA 14.218) entitlement grants support viable urban community development. The Authority also receives project grants for the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds coordinator salaries for employment and economic mobility services to public housing and Housing Choice Voucher residents.

Recent representative awards include a $5.074 million Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, for capital and management activities through March 31, 2030; a $2.197 million Home Investment Partnerships Program formula grant awarded September 19, 2025, through September 30, 2034, for affordable housing development and rehabilitation; a $2.120 million HOPWA formula grant awarded September 19, 2025, for permanent supportive housing and supportive services through September 18, 2028; multiple Public Housing Operating Fund allocations totaling over $5.6 million awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032 or 2031; and a $401 thousand Emergency Solutions Grant awarded September 19, 2025, through September 18, 2027. The Authority also received a $250 thousand emergency safety and security capital grant awarded August 3, 2026, through August 2, 2028, from a HUD lottery program serving approximately 2,770 PHAs nationwide.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to HUD: 130 awards (67% of the 194 total) flow from the Public and Indian Housing Office, and 58 awards (30%) from the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The remaining four awards derive from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Education, and the Corporation for National and Community Service. Activity has remained steady over the past five years—12 to 16 awards annually—with a combined obligated value across all awards of $325.2 million. Fifteen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or reallocation decisions in that window. The Authority also serves as a sub-recipient on a small number of pass-through grants: the most recent sub-award (March 17, 2026) addressed shelter and services for homelessness, and an earlier sub-award (July 12, 2024) from the Office of Emergency Services supported building needs at a facility.
