City Of ST Albans Housing Authority

City Of ST Albans Housing Authority, operating as Housing Authority ST Albans, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in St Albans, West Virginia, that receives federal operating and capital grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as the sole recipient of its federal funding.

The Housing Authority ST Albans operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under two HUD programs managed through the Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) to fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The authority also receives formula grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to support capital and management activities including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to public housing units serving low-income residents. Recent awards include a $118,938 operating fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, a $255,035 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a capital fund grant awarded May 6, 2024 with ultimate completion May 5, 2028. All grants operate as formula-based allocations calculated using inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application.

The Housing Authority ST Albans serves a single federal customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 47 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to the present. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $8.3 million. Activity has declined from four awards in 2022 to two awards each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 year-to-date. Nine awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete action to maintain ongoing funding. The authority does not serve as a subrecipient on any federal awards and does not hold federal contract vehicles or federal contract prime awardee status; its federal footprint consists entirely of direct grant receipts from HUD for public housing operations and capital improvements in West Virginia.
