Washington Housing Authority

Washington Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Washington, North Carolina, receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as the recipient of formula and project grants supporting public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident economic self-sufficiency programming. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of its federal footprint) with no contracting activity and no subcontracting relationships.

The Washington Housing Authority's federal grant portfolio centers on three primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing dwellings, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Recent awards include a $998,640 formula grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) and prior awards in 2024, 2023, and 2022 supporting continuous operations. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) delivers formula grants for capital and management activities, including modernization of existing public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional inventory. The Authority received a $1.5 million formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, with prior awards dating to 2024, 2023, and 2022. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and housing choice voucher programs. The Authority received $105,240 in project grant funding (January 1 through December 31, 2026) and has held this award annually since 2022, supporting coordinator positions that enroll families, develop individualized training and services plans, and connect participants with employer partnerships and community service providers. A Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grant (June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2028) rounds out the portfolio.

The Authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which issued all 71 awards across the source data spanning from 2006 to April 2026. Recent activity has remained stable at three to four awards per year from 2022 forward. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $45.1 million. Ten awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the recompete window for formula grant renewals and project grant extensions.
