Wicomico Co Housing Authority

Wicomico Co Housing Authority (doing business as Wicomico County Housing Authority), a county housing authority located in Salisbury, Maryland, is a recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to support public housing operations and capital improvements serving approximately 300–400 low-income families in Wicomico County. The Authority operates as a 100% prime grant recipient with no subcontracting activity and no federal contracts in its portfolio.

The Authority's federal funding footprint is entirely consolidated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has awarded it 79 grants over a twenty-year period. These grants fall into two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.871), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day expenses including management, maintenance, utilities, security, resident services, and debt service; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), a formula-based allocation supporting capital activities such as modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs aligned with the Authority's five-year action plans. Recent representative awards include a $507,906 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and multiple overlapping Public Housing Operating Fund grants running through December 2032, each addressing operating and maintenance obligations under 24 CFR Parts 905 and applicable to the Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR 200.

Activity has remained flat at approximately four awards per year over the past five years, with a combined total of $21 million obligated across all 79 awards since 2006. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the Authority's recompete and renewal opportunity within that window. The Authority competes for and receives formula allocations rather than competitive procurements, reflecting the statutory allocation methodology for public housing agencies nationwide. As a U.S. local government entity and county housing authority, Wicomico County Housing Authority has no federal contract vehicles, no prime federal contract awards, and no subcontracting relationships in its federal portfolio.
