Housing Authority Of The City Of Jefferson

Housing Authority Of The City Of Jefferson, a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing authority and subsidiary division of the City of Jefferson, Missouri, operates as a recipient of federal formula grants exclusively from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contract work or subcontracting activity.

The authority is headquartered in Jefferson City, Missouri (1040 Myrtle Ave, 65109) and functions as the administrative vehicle through which the City of Jefferson manages federal public housing grant allocations. All 100 awards in the source footprint are direct prime grants with no sub-recipients; the authority does not engage in contract work, place task orders on government-wide vehicles, or subcontract to other vendors. The authority's customer concentration is absolute—100 percent of awards fund HUD Public and Indian Housing Office programs, with no diversification across other federal agencies.

The authority's grant portfolio centers on four core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses—management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Recent Operating Fund awards include $154,515 obligated on August 3, 2026 with completion through December 31, 2030; $558,188 on January 1, 2026 with completion through December 31, 2032; and $160,761 on January 1, 2026 with completion through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) funds capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency safety and security work. Representative Capital Fund awards include $1,009,082 obligated on April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 for housing development and modernization, and $248,543 awarded on August 3, 2026 through August 2, 2028 as a one-time safety and security emergency grant addressing crime and drug-related activity (distributed through HUD lottery due to high demand; the authority is limited to one safety and security application per federal fiscal year and ineligible for subsequent safety and security funding for the same development). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who support families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs; recent awards include $111,461 on January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 requiring the authority to maintain at least 25 participating families.

Activity has remained modest but consistent, ranging from five to nine awards per year over the past five years (six awards in 2022, eight in 2023, five in 2024, five in 2025, and nine in 2026 year-to-date). Total dollars obligated across all 100 awards is $34.5 million. Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face formula-grant reallocation. The authority passes no funds to sub-recipients; all grants flow directly to the authority for operational deployment across its public housing portfolio in Jefferson City.
