Housing Authority Of The County Of Sacramento

Housing Authority Of The County Of Sacramento, a U.S. local government entity and county housing authority headquartered in Sacramento, California, operates as a prime recipient of federal formula grants and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with no federal contracts or subcontracting footprint. The organization receives 100 percent of its federal funding as a grant recipient across public housing operations, homelessness prevention, and affordable housing development programs.

HACOS receives federal grants exclusively from HUD through two primary program offices: the Public and Indian Housing Office (92 awards across the recent footprint) and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (82 awards). The organization operates as a pure grant recipient with no sub-award activity and no parent contract vehicles; its entire federal engagement is formula-based and project-based grant awards. HACOS is a child entity of the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, a parent U.S. local government organization that also serves as a grant recipient.

The bulk of HACOS's federal revenue flows through recurring formula grants supporting core public housing operations. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) accounts for a significant share of annual awards—multiple formula allocations across calendar years 2022–2032 support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing dwellings throughout Sacramento County, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Recent operating fund awards include $449,899 (April 2026–December 2029), $386,973 (January 2026–December 2032), and $683,113 (January 2026–December 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies capital and modernization resources; a $2.221 million award (April 2026–March 2030) funds physical improvements, acquisition, construction, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to public housing stock.

HACOS also receives project grants and formula grants for homelessness response and prevention. The Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) delivers permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations; a $308,834 award (June 2026–May 2027) supports these five eligible program components. The Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231) funds street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing, and HMIS; a $522,624 formula award (September 2025–September 2027) covers these core components. The Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) furnishes affordable housing development and preservation; a $2.86 million award (September 2025–September 2034) supports rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, rental acquisition and construction, and tenant-based rental assistance across income-restricted activities.

HACOS administers the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), funding salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs; a $219,808 project grant (January–December 2026) supports coordinator positions and enrollment of participating families. The Community Development Block Grant Entitlement program (CFDA 14.218) supports broad community development; awards run through 2029–2032 completion dates.

Activity has remained relatively flat across recent years—12 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 14 in 2024, declining to 9 in 2025 and 8 in 2026 through the most recent award date of June 1, 2026. Eighteen awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the recompete cycle for formula and project grant renewals. The organization's combined federal obligation across all 176 awards in the source data totals $313.8 million, spanning a grant portfolio dating to 2006.
