Waterville Housing Authority

Waterville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity operating as a public housing authority in Waterville, Maine, receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents. The Authority acts as a direct grant recipient, not as a contractor or subcontractor, and administers all awarded federal funds without sub-awardees.

The Authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within HUD's housing programs. Since 2022, Waterville Housing Authority has received two award types per year on a recurring cycle: Public Housing Operating Fund grants (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund grants (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund provides subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses. The Capital Fund supports capital and management activities including public housing development, modernization, infrastructure upgrades, system and component replacements, facility improvements, and related financing costs, all specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan and subject to HUD review under 24 CFR Part 905.

Recent awards include a $758,719 Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and a $482,364 Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Authority's cumulative obligated dollars across all 39 federal awards total $24.6 million, with the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounting for 100% of its federal funding. Activity has remained flat over the past five years at approximately two awards annually. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete cycles under HUD's formula grant process. All expenditures comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the Authority maintains detailed cumulative cost records subject to HUD audit throughout each award performance period.
