Garden City Housing Authority

Garden City Housing Authority (doing business as Pershing Manor) is a U.S. local government housing authority headquartered in Garden City, Kansas, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a federal contractor — and does not compete for federal contracts or sit on procurement vehicles.

Garden City Housing Authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public Housing programs. The organization receives two classes of formula grants under CFDA 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund) and CFDA 14.850 (Public Housing Operating Fund): capital grants fund public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that add to or reconfigure the authority's housing inventory, while operating grants fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation costs. Recent capital awards include a $251,247 formula grant effective April 1, 2026, with ultimate completion by March 31, 2030; an award dated May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029; and an award dated May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028. Operating fund awards run from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2031. All grants are allocated to Garden City Housing Authority by HUD formula rather than through competitive application.

The organization has received 24 federal grant awards spanning the past several years, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated of approximately $4 million. Activity remains consistent at two awards per year across 2022–2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal by that deadline. Garden City Housing Authority operates no federal contracts, subcontracts, or parent-vehicle seats — the entity functions exclusively as a direct HUD grant recipient managing capital and operating expenses for its public housing portfolio in Kansas.
