Troy Housing Authority

Troy Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Troy, New York, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as the prime recipient to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and family self-sufficiency employment services. The authority does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient rather than a vendor competing on procurement vehicles.

Troy Housing Authority's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated within HUD. The Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 112 of 165 total awards across the source record; the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 52 awards; and the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters accounts for one award. Combined obligated dollars total $85 million. The authority operates as prime recipient on 164 awards (99% of the footprint) and as a sub-recipient on one grant from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (received June 27, 2023).

Troy Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on three recurring federal programs under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds FSS Program Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits; coordinators enroll and serve low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance programs, developing individual training and services plans and building employer partnerships to advance economic self-sufficiency over 5-7 year periods. The Public Housing Capital Fund Program provides formula grant funding for public housing modernization, development, capital management improvements, and emergency work across the authority's inventory. A congressionally directed spending award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (Economic Development Initiative, awarded August 13, 2024, extending through August 31, 2032) funds community development or economic development outcomes; the specific scope awaits submission of the project narrative. Recent awards include a $194 thousand Family Self-Sufficiency Program Project Grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) funding FSS Program Coordinator salaries, a Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029), and a prior-year Family Self-Sufficiency award (January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025). Activity has remained stable at two to three awards per year over the past five years; three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore cycle into renewal or recompete windows.
