HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES COMMISSION OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY

The Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County is a public housing authority focused on delivering affordable housing programs and community development services under public sector mandates. Its core capabilities center on the administration, management, and oversight of federally funded housing assistance initiatives, including Section 8 voucher programs, public housing operations, and homeless prevention services. The organization implements compliance frameworks aligned with HUD regulations, conducts eligibility determinations, manages property maintenance and inspections, and coordinates with social service providers to support resident self-sufficiency. Specializations include equitable housing access, subsidized housing asset management, and resident engagement strategies grounded in HUD’s Choice Neighborhoods and Housing Choice Voucher guidelines. Award history is not available to determine specific agency relationships or recent contract awards. As a local government entity, it operates under the authority of Montgomery County and is primarily accountable to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for program compliance and funding stewardship, though no direct award data confirms active partnerships. The primary NAICS code 925110—“Administration of Housing Programs”—reflects its role as a public housing authority engaged in the governance and operational execution of federally assisted housing initiatives. This places the organization squarely within the public administration vertical, with a niche focus on local implementation of national housing policy rather than private-sector construction or service delivery. The entity is structured as a 2A—a local government agency—and is based in Kensington, Maryland. It holds no federal certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or small business status. Its market positioning is exclusively within the public housing and community development sector, serving as a conduit for federal housing resources at the county level with no indication of commercial or multi-jurisdictional contract activity.
