Housing Auth Of City Of Elkins WV

Housing Auth Of City Of Elkins WV (Elkins Housing Authority Division) is a U.S. local government entity—a municipal housing authority headquartered in Elkins, West Virginia—that acts as a prime recipient of formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund capital improvements and operating expenses for public housing units. The organization does not compete for federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of HUD grant awards under two statutory programs.

Elkins Housing Authority's customer concentration is monolithic. All 43 awards in the portfolio fund the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100 percent of the organization's federal activity. The authority operates exclusively under formula-grant mechanisms—the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund—both of which allocate funding annually to approximately 2,770 and 6,000 public housing agencies respectively, without competitive solicitation. The Capital Fund supports modernization, development, management improvements, emergency repairs, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, and debt service for public housing inventory; the Operating Fund covers day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management and administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance.

Recent grant activity illustrates the pattern. Elkins Housing Authority received a $240,009 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (award date April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2030) for capital improvements across its public housing units. Prior awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), a Public Housing Capital Fund grant (May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029), and additional Capital Fund and Operating Fund grants spanning back to 2022, all allocated by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The organization's activity trajectory is flat—two awards per year across 2022 through 2026—with combined obligated dollars of $6.5 million across the full 43-award portfolio dating to 2006. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. As a municipal entity, Elkins Housing Authority neither subcontracts nor serves as a subcontractor; its role is that of direct grant recipient administering HUD's statutory public housing programs for low-income residents in Elkins.
