Hobart City Housing Authority

Hobart City Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Hobart, Oklahoma, receives federal formula grants 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 authority is a grant recipient only — not a federal contractor — and operates exclusively under HUD's two primary housing-support programs with no subcontract relationships.

The authority's federal footprint spans two formula grant programs. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), Hobart receives operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs necessary to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing conditions. A $131,114 operating grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, exemplifies this stream. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), Hobart receives capital grants to fund modernization, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that add to or reconfigure its public housing inventory. A $221,642 capital grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, represents recent capital funding; prior capital awards include a grant funded May 6, 2024, through May 5, 2028, and another funded February 17, 2023, through February 16, 2027.

Hobart's award footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — 45 total grants across roughly twenty years, with $6.7 million in combined obligated dollars. Activity has remained steady at two to four grants per year over the past five years. Only two grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. The authority operates as a prime recipient across all federal funding; it neither subcontracts nor acts as a sub-recipient on grants from other entities. This posture reflects Hobart's role as a direct administrator of federal housing assistance rather than a federal service provider or contractor for hire.
