Venice Housing Authority Inc.

Venice Housing Authority Inc., a U.S. local government housing authority based in Venice, Florida, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a prime recipient under the Public Housing Operating Fund and Public Housing Capital Fund programs, serving as an operating and capital-grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontract involvement.

Venice Housing Authority operates exclusively under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of its 40 federal awards spanning two decades. The authority receives formula grants under two primary program vehicles: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and capital activities specified in approved five-year action plans or HUD-approved emergency work. Operating Fund grants carry multi-year terms ranging from four to seven years, with recent recipients completing work through 2031 and 2032, while Capital Fund grants typically run four-year cycles with recent awards spanning through 2028 and 2030.

Recent grant activity shows consistent annual receipts of three awards per year across 2022–2026, with combined dollars obligated across all forty awards totaling $2.7 million. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the primary recompete window. Venice Housing Authority's grant footprint is singular in customer concentration — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office represents 100% of active awards with no diversification to other federal agencies. This structure reflects the authority's core mission as a local housing provider administering federal public housing programs under Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, with no independent contracting or subcontracting capacity in the vendor market.
