Clarkton Housing Authority

Clarkton Housing Authority, located at 404 E Clark St in Clarkton, Missouri, is a U.S. local government entity and housing authority that serves the public housing needs of low-income residents in its community. As a registered federal grant recipient since March 2009, the organization receives formula grant awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office to support its mission of providing and maintaining safe, affordable housing for eligible households. The authority operates as a prime grantee and does not utilize federal contract vehicles or subcontract relationships in its federal funding arrangements.

Clarkton Housing Authority has established a consistent track record of receiving federal formula grants through two primary HUD programs over the past several years: the Public Housing Operating Fund and the Public Housing Capital Fund. The Public Housing Operating Fund awards, issued annually on January 1st with completion dates extending through 2031-2032, provide operating subsidies that enable the authority to fund day-to-day operational expenses, management and administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service obligations. The Public Housing Capital Fund awards, granted at intervals between February and May with performance periods spanning approximately four years, support capital improvements including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, and management improvements. Most recently, the authority received a Capital Fund award of $181,862 on May 13, 2025, with performance extending through May 12, 2029, which specifically targets critical capital projects and emergency repairs to maintain decent, safe, and affordable housing standards. These continuous formula grants demonstrate Clarkton Housing Authority's ongoing responsibility for operating and improving public housing units that serve low-income families and elderly residents in its service area.
