Bethany Public Housing Agency

Bethany Public Housing Agency, a local government housing authority based in Bethany, Missouri, is a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving formula grants to fund public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents.

Bethany Public Housing Agency operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The agency receives recurring formula-grant allocations from HUD under two primary federal programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in award detail, but aligned with Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, administrative costs, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and debt service. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and related management improvements specified in the agency's approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

The agency's grant footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across 39 awards over the past two decades, with combined dollars obligated of $6.1 million. Recent grant activity includes a $232,284 Public Housing Capital Fund formula award (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) supporting capital and management activities; a Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029; and recurring Operating Fund allocations from prior fiscal years. The agency receives two grants annually on a consistent schedule: Operating Fund allocations effective January 1 and Capital Fund awards issued in May, reflecting the formula-grant structure of the Public Housing program serving approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal. The agency does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, or GSA schedules, nor does it operate as a federal contractor or subcontractor.
