Snyder County Housing Authority

Snyder County Housing Authority, a U.S. county government housing agency based in Middleburg, Pennsylvania, receives federal grants as a direct recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund operations and capital improvements at approximately 1,000 public housing units serving low-income residents across Snyder County.

Snyder County Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The authority's entire federal footprint — 39 awards totaling $4.2 million in combined obligations across its history — comes from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The agency is not a prime or subcontractor on federal service contracts, does not hold seats on GWACs or IDIQs, and does not compete for competitive procurements.

The authority receives two recurring formula-grant programs from HUD. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.877) provides annual subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent Operating Fund awards include a grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032, and a prior award dated January 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2031. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula-based capital grants for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs, applied according to the authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $148,360 grant dated April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030; an award dated May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029; and an award dated May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028.

Activity has remained flat at approximately two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), reflecting the formulaic nature of HUD's recurring grant programs. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will cycle into renewal through HUD's standard operating-fund and capital-fund allocation processes. The authority's work footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — 100% of awards derive from that single customer agency and grant program family.
