Augusta Housing Authority

Augusta Housing Authority, doing business as Osage Manor, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Augusta, Kansas that receives federal housing formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime recipient. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a contractor — with all 46 awards in its footprint deriving from HUD's formula-grant programs for public housing operations and capital improvements.

Osage Manor's entire federal footprint consists of recurring formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.889) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to maintain safe housing for low-income residents. Recent awards include a $117,972 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. All eligible activities are limited to those specified in Osage Manor's HUD-approved five-year action plan or those approved by HUD for emergency work or non-presidentially declared natural disaster response.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the 46 awards in Osage Manor's footprint. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $4.4 million. Activity has been sparse in recent years — two awards in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026 — following higher volume in 2022 and 2023. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, both reflecting the rolling schedule of the underlying formula-grant programs rather than discretionary recompete pressure. Osage Manor does not hold federal contract vehicles, prime contract awards, or subcontract positions; the organization's federal footprint is confined entirely to formula-grant receipt under HUD housing programs.
