Leavenworth Housing Authority

Leavenworth Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity based in Leavenworth, Kansas, that operates as a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies — all 27 recent awards are grants to the Authority as prime recipient, with zero subcontracting activity.

The Authority's federal footprint is singular in scope: all awards flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides grants to support capital and management activities including modernization of existing public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the Authority's housing inventory. A representative capital grant awarded on April 1, 2026, carries $214,732 and runs through March 31, 2030, with funds constrained to eligible activities specified in 24 CFR 905.200 and the Authority's approved five-year action plan or for emergency work. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses. An operating grant awarded January 1, 2026, carries $156,301 and runs through December 31, 2032, supporting service delivery for lower-income residents in Leavenworth, including elderly individuals and families with children.

The Authority receives these grants on a formula basis — not through competitive application — calculated using inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Combined potential value across all 27 awards totals $5.4 million, reflecting the modest scale of a single local housing authority. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across the past five years, with the most recent award in April 2026. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete or renewal action in that window. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime awards and no subcontracting relationships; federal contractors pursuing HUD housing modernization or operating support work would engage the Authority as the customer agency rather than as a teaming partner or subcontractor.
