Tooele County Housing Authority

Tooele County Housing Authority, a Utah county government entity headquartered in Tooele, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient administering public housing and community development programs for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Authority holds no federal contracts and does not bid on procurement vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of 58 prime grant awards across three federal grantor agencies.

The Authority's grant portfolio centers on three HUD and USDA programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office funds 42 awards across three recurring grant types: the Public Housing Capital Fund (formula grants for public housing modernization, development, and management improvements), the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (project grants funding FSS coordinator salaries and fringe to support resident employment and self-sufficiency), and ongoing public-and-Indian-housing operations funding. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $5.8 million formula grant awarded May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029) and a prior award dated May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028). Family Self-Sufficiency awards run on annual cycles (most recently January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026). The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 13 awards under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which supports permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families; the most recent CoC award ($201,421, July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) is complemented by a prior award dated July 1, 2024 (completion June 30, 2025). The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service funds three project grants under the Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420), providing technical assistance for very low- and low-income families constructing homes through self-help methods; the most recent award is $747,606 (July 11, 2025 through April 11, 2026), with a prior award of $241,584 (August 12, 2024 through May 12, 2025) and an earlier grant of $431,960 (October 9, 2021 through December 9, 2022).

Activity has remained flat over the past five years (three to four awards annually from 2022 through 2025), with combined obligations of $5.8 million across all 58 awards. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face renewal or recompete cycles. The Authority serves a single county jurisdiction and does not engage in subcontracting relationships; all work is performed directly as the grant recipient.
