Town Of Cumberland Housing Authority

Town Of Cumberland Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority and U.S. government entity headquartered in Cumberland, Rhode Island, acts as a prime recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization receives formula and project grants under three recurring HUD programs to operate and maintain its public housing portfolio and deliver supportive services to low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities.

The Town of Cumberland Housing Authority's entire federal footprint (56 awards, $14.8 million combined obligated dollars across the available record) flows from a single customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Award activity has remained stable over the past five years, with three to five awards annually. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal action.

The organization's grant portfolio centers on three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Recent awards include a $369,371 formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, with performance extending through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) funds capital and management improvements—development activities that add to or reconfigure public housing units through construction and acquisition, modernization that improves existing units and common areas, and management improvements to PHA operations. The most recent capital award of $355,949 was issued April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) provides project grants to fund FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits; coordinators enroll and maintain participating families, prepare individual training and services plans, and build community partnerships with employers and service providers. The organization received a $100,304 FSS award January 1, 2026, covering performance through December 31, 2026.

All grants are administered under 2 CFR 200 audit and compliance requirements. The organization maintains no federal contracting prime awards and no subcontract relationships with federal contractors.
