Clinton Housing Authority

Clinton Housing Authority, a U.S. municipal housing agency based in Clinton, Iowa, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents. The Authority acts as a prime recipient on all federal grant awards, with no subcontractor engagement, and receives funding exclusively through HUD's two core public housing programs.

Clinton Housing Authority's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated on two HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, emergency repairs, infrastructure upgrades, and energy efficiency improvements. A recent operating-fund award (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) carries $122,032 in obligated value, and a capital-fund award (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) carries $168,809. Both awards require the Authority to maintain compliance with Uniform Administrative Requirements and submit annual housing inventory certifications to HUD. As part of the national $5 billion public housing operating program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities and 902,436 households, Clinton Housing Authority administers its inventory independently using HUD's web-based platforms to monitor funding levels, occupancy rates, and service metrics.

The Authority has received 36 federal awards since 2006, with all 35 prime awards (97% of the portfolio) routed through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Activity averages two awards per year in recent years, with $6 million in combined obligated value across the entire footprint. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete cycles. One sub-award in the source reflects the Authority's role as a TBRA (Tenant-Based Rental Assistance) unit recipient in a HOME-assisted portfolio as of October 2023. The Authority operates as a direct federal recipient without intermediate vehicles, parent IDIQs, or subcontractor relationships—it is an executing agency, not a federal contractor or vendor.
