The Housing Authority Of The City Of Seneca

The Housing Authority Of The City Of Seneca, operating as Seneca Housing Authority, is a U.S. government entity and a child subsidiary of the City of Seneca, Kansas, that receives federal housing grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime grant recipient. The authority operates exclusively within federal grant programs; it holds no federal contracts, no contract vehicles, and no role as a subcontractor on any federal awards.

Seneca Housing Authority's entire federal footprint—39 awards totaling $3.6 million obligated—flows through two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The capital grants fund modernization, development, management improvements, and other eligible capital activities on an approved 5-Year Action Plan basis; the operating grants fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative costs. Capital Fund awards in the source include a $155,315 grant effective April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030, and earlier allocations dated May 13, 2025 (completing May 12, 2029) and May 6, 2024 (completing May 5, 2028). Operating Fund grants are allocated annually on a calendar-year cycle; recent awards run January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2031, with prior allocations in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100 percent of awards (39 of 39) flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Activity is steady and consistent—two awards per year for the past five years—with two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete risk. Seneca Housing Authority acts as a prime recipient on all awards; it has no sub-award activity and does not serve as a subcontractor to other federal grantees. The authority's role is to administer federal housing subsidies and capital allocations in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905 and the Housing Act of 1937, maintaining safe, decent housing stock for low-income residents within its Kansas jurisdiction.
