Chanute Housing Authority

Chanute Housing Authority, doing business as Housing Authority Of The City Of Chanute, is a U.S. local government entity and municipal housing authority based in Chanute, Kansas, that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents. The Authority acts exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no documented sub-awardees across its entire federal footprint.

The Authority's federal work consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing program funding. Recent awards include a $338,457 Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting capital modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades; a $144,281 Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) formula grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, covering day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance; and additional formula grants under the same two programs dating back to 2022. The Authority has received 45 total awards since 2006, with combined dollars obligated of $10.7 million. All awards flow from a single customer agency — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — and represent the Authority's 100% federal footprint as a prime recipient.

Activity has remained modest and flat. The Authority received four awards in both 2022 and 2023, then two awards each in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Eight awards currently under management will reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the Authority's recompete or renewal cycle for those underlying grants. Formula grant awards to housing authorities under both the Capital Fund and Operating Fund programs are calculated using established formulas reflecting the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than awarded through competitive application processes. The Authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, maintain accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and complete all capital expenditures by the specified deadline in each grant award agreement. The Authority operates no federal contracts and has no involvement in competitive prime contracting or sub-award relationships.
