Carriage Manor

Carriage Manor, doing business as Florence Housing Authority, is a for-profit organization based in Florence, Kansas that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a prime recipient under the Public Housing Capital Fund Program and the Public Housing Operating Fund program. The entity operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no federal contracting footprint.

Carriage Manor is the exclusive recipient of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office formula grants supporting public housing capital improvements, modernization, development, and operating expenses across a seven-county portfolio. The organization receives annual allocations under two primary grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and eligible capital activities described in 24 CFR Part 905; and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion March 31, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2025 with ultimate completion December 31, 2031; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024 with ultimate completion May 5, 2028. The organization holds additional overlapping grants with completion dates extending through 2032.

Activity is consistent at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with thirty-five total grants awarded since 2006. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.3 million, reflecting the formula-grant structure of HUD's public housing funding rather than competitive procurement. All awards flow from a single customer agency: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which distributes capital and operating funds to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies serving nearly one million units nationwide. Four grants in Carriage Manor's active portfolio reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering renewal applications under the same HUD formula-grant programs. The organization operates no federal contracts, holds no contract vehicles, and engages in no subcontracting relationships.
