Union County Housing Authority

Union County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority headquartered in Lake Butler, Florida, receives federal housing formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a grant recipient to fund public housing operations and capital improvements throughout Union County.

The authority operates exclusively as a formula-grant recipient — 100% of its recent federal award footprint comprises grants, with no prime contracts, subcontracts, or competitive procurements. Its sole customer is HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives recurring annual allocations under two primary grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The authority received $183,302 under this program effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula-based grants for capital improvements, modernization, and development activities that add to or reconfigure public housing inventory. Recent Capital Fund awards include $393,995 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and an earlier allocation dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion by May 12, 2029. Both programs are formula-allocated rather than competitively awarded, with eligible uses defined under 24 CFR Part 905 and activities governed by the authority's approved five-year action plan and HUD regulations.

The authority's grant footprint shows stable annual volume — two awards in each of the past five years — for a combined total of 40 awards and $12.4 million in obligated federal dollars over its full award history dating to 2006. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a public housing authority managing a portfolio of public housing units serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in Union County, the authority does not bid on federal contracts, does not maintain vendor relationships with federal contractors, and does not appear in federal contract teaming arrangements.
