The Housing Authority Of The City Of Charlestown

The Housing Authority of the City of Charlestown is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Charlestown, Indiana that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime grant recipient—not a federal contractor. All fifty-eight awards in the source data are formula grants under two HUD programs covering public housing operations and capital improvements, with zero federal contracts and zero sub-award relationships.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventive maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, and emergency repairs as specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan. Recent representative awards include an $851,335 Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $239,490 Operating Fund formula grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). Combined dollar obligations across all fifty-eight awards total $18.8 million, reflecting the formula-driven nature of these grants, which are calculated by HUD using inventory characteristics such as unit counts and building age.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is complete — 100 percent of awards originate with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, the single distinct federal agency served. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will therefore require recompete or renewal processing. Activity has remained stable at three awards per year across the past five years (2022 through 2026), indicating consistent formula-grant receipt rather than competitive procurement dynamics. The authority has received no federal contracts, held no positions on contract vehicles such as GWACs or IDIQs, and maintains no subcontracting relationships. Compliance obligations are governed by 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's regulatory framework under 24 CFR Part 905.
