City Of Washington

The Housing Authority of Washington Kansas, a U.S. government entity and a subsidiary of the City of Washington municipal government, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, development, and day-to-day operational expenses serving low-income residents in Washington, Kansas. The Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of awards) with no federal contracts or subcontract work in the source data.

The Housing Authority's funding portfolio is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (39 awards, 100% of activity). The Authority receives recurring formula-based allocations under two principal HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, construction, acquisition of additional units, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades; and the Public Housing Operating Fund, which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, management, routine preventive maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses. Recent awards include a $107,659 Capital Fund grant (April 2026 through March 2030), operating subsidies running through December 2032, and prior-year Capital Fund allocations effective through May 2029. Combined obligated dollars across all recorded awards total $2.6 million.

Activity is steady at two awards per year across 2022–2026, with four awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority's federal funding footprint reflects its role as one of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide serving formula-based distributions that reflect its housing inventory characteristics rather than competitive procurement. As a local housing authority subsidiary, the Housing Authority does not compete for federal contracts or participate in contract vehicles; its relationship with the federal government is limited to HUD formula grant administration for public housing operations and capital projects serving its resident portfolio in Washington, Kansas.
