Tremont Housing Authority

Tremont Housing Authority, a local government entity based in Bar Harbor, Maine, receives federal operating and capital grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, maintenance, and modernization activities under formula grant programs.

Tremont Housing Authority is a U.S. Local Government entity and housing authority. The vendor holds no federal contracts and operates entirely within HUD's formula grant structure as a prime recipient, with no subcontractor or sub-recipient role. All 42 awards in the source data are formula grants from the Public and Indian Housing Office, with a combined $2.4 million obligated across the full award history and a single customer agency. The vendor competes in the non-competitive grant allocation space rather than competitive federal contracting; set-aside categories do not apply.

The authority's federal footprint centers on two recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and eligible capital activities as defined in 24 CFR 905.200. Representative awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion on December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded August 3, 2026, with ultimate completion on December 31, 2030. The PH OpFund program itself operates as a $5 billion national initiative serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities across roughly 1.59 million public housing residents; the CFP funds approximately 2,770 housing authorities managing nearly one million units nationwide.

Activity has remained modest and stable over the past five years, averaging roughly two to three awards annually. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face renewal or reallocation. Award frequency and dollar magnitude reflect Tremont's status as a small housing authority recipient within a standardized, formula-driven allocation model rather than a competitive federal contracting operation.
