City Of Rock Springs

City of Rock Springs Housing Authority, a public housing authority operating as a division of the City of Rock Springs, Wyoming, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing modernization, operations, and capital improvements serving low-income residents in Rock Springs. The Housing Authority is a U.S. government entity (100% prime recipient, no subcontracting activity) and operates as a child division of the City of Rock Springs municipal government.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint consists exclusively of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Recent awards include $163,749 from the Public Housing Operating Fund (awarded January 1, 2026, performance through December 31, 2032) supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and insurance administration; and $393,849 from the Public Housing Capital Fund (awarded April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2030) supporting capital activities including housing modernization, construction and acquisition of additional units, rehabilitation of existing units, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. Earlier awards under both programs issued in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 follow the same structure, with ultimate completion dates extending through 2032. The Housing Authority serves 44% elderly residents and 35% families with children across its public housing inventory.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute: all 41 awards on record serve the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, which administers approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide. Award activity has held steady at two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $10.7 million. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Housing Authority operates as a direct federal grant recipient managing its own capital and operating budgets in accordance with HUD regulations, 24 CFR Part 905, and its approved 5-Year Action Plan rather than through contracting relationships or intermediary prime vehicles.
