Elk County Housing Authority

Elk County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania, receives HUD Public Housing formula grants as the sole recipient of federal funding in its award footprint — a restricted federal funding relationship typical of public housing agencies rather than federal contractors or commercial vendors.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contract awards, no parent IDIQs or GWACs, and no subcontracting relationships. Its entire federal footprint consists of 62 awards spanning formula grants under two core programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing dwellings, and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports modernization, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements to public housing inventory. The Authority also holds one project grant under the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative and received emergency safety and security grant funding (awarded June 20, 2024, completing June 19, 2026) to address crime and drug-related activity.

Recent award activity shows three grants in 2026, four in 2024 and 2023, and three in 2025 and 2022, reflecting the steady but non-growing cadence typical of formula-allocated public housing funding. The most recent awards include a $458,968 Public Housing Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030) and two Public Housing Operating Fund grants of $194,667 and $121,341 (both January 1, 2026, completing December 31, 2032). The combined potential value across all 62 awards stands at $16.4 million obligated. Six awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, triggering routine grant renewals rather than competitive recompetes, as allocations under both operating and capital fund programs distribute via formula to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories. The Housing Authority's funding relationship is non-discretionary and compliance-driven under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, with award amounts calculated using established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics rather than through competitive procurement.
