City Of Muscatine

The City of Muscatine, operating as the Muscatine Public Housing Agency, is a municipal housing authority that receives federal grants (rather than contracts) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to administer public housing operations, capital modernization, and resident services in Muscatine, Iowa. As a U.S. local government entity and public housing agency, it acts as a prime recipient on HUD formula and project grants and holds no federal contract vehicles or prime contract awards.

The Muscatine Public Housing Agency's federal funding footprint centers on four HUD grant programs within the Public and Indian Housing Office: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, and comprehensive housing counseling. Operating fund grants support day-to-day maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services across its public housing portfolio. Capital fund grants (both formula and emergency allocations) support modernization, development, acquisition, infrastructure improvements, and energy efficiency upgrades to public housing units. Recent awards include a $386,213 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 2026 through March 2030, a $151,119 Operating Fund formula grant effective January 2026 through December 2032, and a $222,000 emergency safety and security capital grant awarded September 2025 with a two-year performance period. The agency also holds Family Self-Sufficiency Program grants funding coordinator salaries to serve at least 25 participating families per position and has received Comprehensive Housing Counseling grants supporting pre-purchase counseling, foreclosure prevention, and homeowner education.

HUD programs dominate the customer base: the Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 47 of 60 prime awards (79% of the footprint), with the Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner contributing 10 additional awards (17%). A single National Park Service grant for the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Program ($858,388, awarded September 2023 for historic building rehabilitation subgrants) and one Federal Communications Commission Affordable Connectivity Outreach grant round out the agency's multi-agency exposure. Across all 63 awards (prime plus three grant sub-awards), the agency has obligated $15.7 million since 2006. Award volume has declined in recent years: five awards in 2022, seven in 2023, six in 2024, four in 2025, and three through April 2026. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, marking routine recompete exposure for the agency's formula grant allocations. The Muscatine Public Housing Agency operates as a subsidiary division of the City of Muscatine, with the parent city serving as the formal grant recipient entity.
