Housing Authority Of The City Of Bernie

Housing Authority Of The City Of Bernie is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Bernie, Missouri, that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and modernization activities serving low-income residents in Bernie.

Housing Authority Of The City Of Bernie operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a federal contractor — and has received 41 formula grants over the past two decades, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no subrecipient or subcontractor relationships. The authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within two HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (no distinct CFDA enumerated in the source). The Capital Fund awards support modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to the authority's public housing inventory. The Operating Fund awards cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident support services, insurance, and administrative costs necessary to maintain public housing operations. Recent representative awards include a $162,272 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, an Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, a Capital Fund formula grant awarded May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029, and an Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. The authority's combined dollars obligated across all awards total $4.5 million.

Award activity has remained flat at two grants per year from 2022 through 2026, indicating stable but not expanding federal funding. Two awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months — both representing routine renewal of formula allocations rather than competitive recompetes. As a formula-based allocation recipient under the 1937 Housing Act, Housing Authority Of The City Of Bernie does not compete for these awards; HUD distributes annual appropriations to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide using established formulas that reflect each agency's inventory characteristics. All expenditures are subject to Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200 and HUD audit oversight.
