Taunton Housing Authority

Taunton Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Taunton, Massachusetts, receives federal formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing operations, capital modernization, and resident self-sufficiency programming. Taunton operates exclusively as a grant recipient; the authority holds no federal contracts and does not subcontract on federal awards.

The authority's federal footprint centers on three core HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring formula grants to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs required under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Recent Operating Fund awards include $998,303 (awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032), $222,374 (awarded January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032), and $115,647 (awarded January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, and development and modernization work specified in approved five-year action plans. Taunton received $1,172,427 under the Capital Fund on April 1, 2026 (performance through March 31, 2030). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to enroll and serve residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and project-based rental assistance properties; Taunton received $100,282 on January 1, 2026 (through December 31, 2026). The authority also holds a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grant (performance period June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2028) to support employment outcomes for residents.

The HUD Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of Taunton's recent award volume — 106 of 107 awards over the source data window — with a single award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. Across 107 total awards since 2006, Taunton has obligated $77 million in federal funding. Award activity has remained stable at five to six awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Seven awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing Taunton to formula-grant recompete cycles under HUD's standard annual and multiyear allocation process. Place of performance is Taunton, Massachusetts, where the authority administers public housing for low-income residents in the region.
