The Housing Authority Of The City Of New Albany

The Housing Authority of the City of New Albany is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in New Albany, Indiana, that receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to operate and maintain public housing stock and deliver housing-related supportive services to low-income residents. The authority acts exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards are prime, zero sub-awards), with no involvement in federal contracting.

The authority's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (111 of 113 awards, roughly 98% coverage), with two additional awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner. The HUD Public and Indian Housing Office funds four primary grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, routine and preventive maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, and development of new or reconfigured housing units under the authority's five-year action plan; the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds FSS coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs; and the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative, which targets employment and self-sufficiency in public housing communities. Recent representative awards include a $2.596 million Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) supporting capital and management activities, a $1.035 million Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) for operational and maintenance expenses, and a $264,138 Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) for FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits serving a minimum of 25 participating families. The authority also received a $50,630 Comprehensive Housing Counseling grant from HUD's Federal Housing Commissioner office (October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025) to provide housing counseling, home-buying education, and foreclosure prevention assistance.

Over the past five years, award volume has remained flat to modest — ranging from five to eight grants annually — with a combined $117.2 million obligated across all 113 awards in the source data spanning 2006 to April 2026. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing scheduled recompete exposure. The authority operates within the federal housing administration framework without federal contracting vehicles, GWAC seats, or subcontracting relationships; its mission is the direct receipt and stewardship of HUD formula and project grant funding for public housing operations and resident services in New Albany.
