Festus Housing Authority

Festus Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Festus, Missouri, is a formula-grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating exclusively as a prime recipient under HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund programs. The Authority does not hold federal contracts, contract vehicles, or serve as a subcontractor; its entire federal relationship comprises grant receipts for public housing operations and capital improvements.

Festus Housing Authority's award footprint reflects a narrow, specialized scope. The Authority receives recurring formula grants exclusively from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across two program streams. The Public Housing Capital Fund awards support capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, system replacements, and energy efficiency upgrades, with eligible activities drawn from an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. The Public Housing Operating Fund awards (a $5 billion nationwide program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities) fund day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent representative awards include a $178,961 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant dated April 1, 2026 (performance through March 31, 2030), a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant dated January 1, 2026 (performance through December 31, 2032), and a $178,961 Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 (performance through May 12, 2029). All expenditures comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and require maintenance of accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.

Customer concentration is absolute—HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of all 40 awards in the source data, spanning a twenty-year history (first award July 2006). Combined dollars obligated across the entire portfolio total $3.4 million. Activity is flat across the trailing five years at two awards annually. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, triggering formula-grant recompetes under HUD's standard allocation cycles. The Authority operates as a pure recipient with no federal contracts, no participation in GWACs or agency IDIQs, and no subcontracting relationships—making it a transparent grantor-grantee relationship rather than a vendor player in the federal contracting marketplace.
