Housing Authority Of Northumberland County

Housing Authority Of Northumberland County is a U.S. local government entity—specifically a county housing authority—based in Milton, Pennsylvania, that operates as a prime recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority does not hold federal contracts; it receives formula and project grants exclusively to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident self-sufficiency programs serving low-income families and elderly residents in Northumberland County.

The Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on three HUD programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides ongoing operational and maintenance subsidies; the most recent award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031, carries $225,160 in obligated funding to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional units, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades; the most recent capital grant, awarded April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, totals $700,701 and funds activities specified in the authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan or emergency work. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits for employment and self-sufficiency programming; the authority received project grants in 2024 (January–December), 2025 (January–December), and 2026 (January–December) to hire and retain FSS coordinators who enroll families and develop individual training and services plans.

Over the past five years (2022–2026), the Housing Authority has received 17 awards total—5 in 2022, 3 each in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026—with combined obligated dollars of $18.3 million. All 65 awards in the source data are prime grants; the authority has no subcontracting role and no federal contract awards. The customer base is entirely concentrated: 100% of awards come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA programs 14.850, 14.872, and the Family Self-Sufficiency program under Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act). Seven awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, including FSS grants ending December 31, 2026, and capital fund grants ending May 12, 2029, May 5, 2028, and similar expiration dates across the portfolio. The authority's federal footprint is narrowly specialized: it administers public housing stock, manages resident services, and deploys capital funds for housing preservation and development in Northumberland County, with no diversification into other federal agencies or grant programs.
