Cheyenne And Arapaho Housing Authority

Cheyenne And Arapaho Housing Authority, a tribally governed public housing agency operating as a federal grant recipient, administers tenant-based rental assistance and affordable housing programs for very low-income families, elderly individuals, and disabled persons in Clinton, Oklahoma, under HUD's Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program (CFDA 14.871) and Indian Housing Block Grants program (CFDA 14.867).

The Authority is a federally recognized Indian tribe and tribal government entity with no federal contract prime or subcontractor footprint; all federal activity is grant-based. Recent grant awards span two federal agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 19 of 20 recent awards, centered on Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers administration, Indian Housing Block Grants, and the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative. A single award from the Federal Communications Commission, dated May 31, 2023, supports affordable connectivity outreach. The Authority operates as a prime recipient across all awards, with no sub-recipient relationships in the source data.

HUD funding supports two core capability areas. Under the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program, the Authority administers Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) and program management including occupancy monitoring, regulatory compliance, and tenant-based rental assistance delivery. A representative award on September 30, 2025 provided $334,224 for twelve-month Section 8 administration running through September 30, 2026; a more recent award on January 29, 2026 carried $152,760 for HAP and administrative operations through September 30, 2027. The Authority also received a $6 million Indian Housing Block Grant award dated January 3, 2025, with completion scheduled for December 28, 2029, to fund new housing construction, rehabilitation, acquisition, and infrastructure improvements for Native American communities within its jurisdiction.

Activity has remained modest and steady across recent years — one to two awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — reflecting the recurring annual nature of Section 8 funding cycles. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $60 million over the entire period in the source data. Four awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete or renewal action. The Authority does not hold federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; all work derives directly from HUD grant allocations and FCC outreach funding. The vendor's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated in housing assistance administration and affordable housing delivery for tribal and low-income populations in Oklahoma.
