Corning Housing Commission

Corning Housing Commission, doing business as Westgate Housing, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Corning, Iowa that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, operational expenses, and management activities. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of its award footprint), with no federal contract prime or subcontract activity.

Westgate Housing's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants under two recurring programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). The Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and capital improvements to the organization's public housing inventory in Corning, Iowa, governed by 24 CFR Part 905 and obligated through five-year action plans or HUD-approved emergency work. The Operating Fund grants provide subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent awards include a $104,016 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and an Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Prior Capital Fund awards completed in May 2024 and February 2023; prior Operating Fund awards completed in January 2024 and January 2023.

All forty awards in the source data flow from a single customer — the Department of Housing and Urban Development — reflecting Westgate Housing's role as one of approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide administering nearly one million public housing units. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2.8 million. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete or renewal touchpoints under HUD's formula-grant allocation cycle.
