Hobart City Housing Authority

Hobart City Housing Authority, a local government entity based in Hobart, Oklahoma, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements. The authority operates as a prime recipient with no subcontracting or pass-through arrangements; all 46 awards in the source data represent direct grants to Hobart City Housing Authority itself.

The authority's work centers on two core HUD programs. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), Hobart receives annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including 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. Recent Operating Fund awards include $196,476 obligated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and $310,386 obligated August 3, 2026 through December 31, 2030. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), Hobart receives formula grants to support public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements. Recent Capital Fund awards include $221,642 obligated April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a May 13, 2025 award with completion date May 12, 2029. The combined dollars obligated across all 46 federal grants total $7 million.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100 percent of awards come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office. Activity is modest and flat — two to four awards annually over the past five years — with only two awards completing within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete pressure. The authority's role is that of a housing agency receiving entitlement formula funding under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, not a federal contractor or service provider. The grant structure is formula-driven; Hobart does not compete for these awards and does not subcontract the funding to other entities.
