Horton Housing Authority

Horton Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity and local public housing authority headquartered in Horton, Kansas, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital and operating fund programs. The authority does not hold federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor; its federal relationship is exclusively grant-based and recipient-facing.

Horton Housing Authority operates as the prime recipient across its entire federal award footprint—41 awards spanning twenty years, all issued by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives formula-based allocations under two primary federal grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Capital Fund awards support modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure repairs to ensure safe and sanitary housing conditions across the authority's public housing inventory. Operating Fund awards cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for the authority's public housing dwellings. As a formula-based allocation mechanism rather than a competitive program, award amounts reflect the authority's public housing inventory characteristics—unit counts, building age, and construction costs. Recent representative awards include a $159,389 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; an Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund grant dated May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of the authority's 41 awards derive from the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, the sole federal agency in the authority's grant portfolio. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $4.4 million. Activity has remained stable at two awards per year across the most recent five-year period (2022–2026). Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will therefore cycle for renewal. The authority maintains no subcontract relationships and does not operate as a subrecipient on other grants—all federal funding flows directly to Horton Housing Authority as prime recipient.
