Sanford Housing Authority

Sanford Housing Authority is a local government entity and housing authority operating as a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, managing public housing operations and capital infrastructure for the Sanford, North Carolina community. The organization receives no federal contract awards and does not operate as a prime contractor or subcontractor; all 102 awards in its federal footprint are grants administered directly by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Sanford Housing Authority's grant portfolio concentrates entirely within HUD, with 99 of 102 awards (97%) flowing from the Public and Indian Housing Office and three awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The organization serves as a prime recipient on all grants; it does not function as a sub-recipient on work from other grantees. Recent grant work includes a $912,369 formula allocation under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting modernization, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements to the agency's public housing inventory. The authority also received a $148,624 project grant under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) awarded January 1, 2026 and completing December 31, 2026, funding FSS Program Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits for enrollment, individualized training and services plan development, and community partnership coordination. Operating expenses are supported through multiple Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) formula allocations totaling $228,312 annually as of January 1, 2026, funding day-to-day operations, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation across a seven-year performance period extending through December 31, 2032.

Activity has remained flat in recent years — five awards annually in 2025 and 2026 after a steady seven-award baseline in 2022 and 2023 — with five awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The combined obligated value across the 102-award footprint spans $42.1 million since 2006, with grant awards characterized as formula-based allocations calculated using HUD's standardized methodology (HUD-52723 and HUD-52722 forms) rather than competitive application processes. Sanford Housing Authority operates under its Annual Contribution Contract with HUD and maintains access to HUD's web-based platforms for real-time portfolio data on funding levels, occupancy rates, and families served, supporting compliance with federal cost principles and audit requirements under 2 CFR 200.
