Salem Housing Authoruty

Salem Housing Authority of the City of Salem, Missouri, operating as Salem City Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a formula-grant recipient (100% of awards) rather than a federal contractor or prime. The entity operates under the City of Salem's municipal structure as a child entity.

Salem Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two recurring grant programs. The authority receives allocations from the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.870), which supports day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs for the authority's public housing portfolio. The authority also receives allocations from the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, public housing modernization, infrastructure upgrades, development or acquisition of additional housing units, and emergency repairs. Recent grant awards include a $241,885 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, an Operating Fund grant running from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with completion by May 12, 2029. The authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan governs eligible use of capital funds; funds must be obligated and expended under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Activity remains steady at two awards per year across the past five years, with thirty-five total awards in the source data spanning from 2006 through April 2026. Combined dollars obligated total $5.6 million across all awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole customer agency across the entire award footprint (100% of awards). Salem Housing Authority serves approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide under the same formula-grant programs, managing a public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Salem, Missouri.
