Housing Authority City Of Russell

Russell Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and certified Public Housing Agency based in Russell, Kansas, operates as a federal grant recipient receiving formula allocations from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to manage capital and operating expenses for public housing serving low-income residents. The entity is not a federal contractor; all federal transacting is through HUD grant awards rather than procurement.

Russell Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital funding for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and facility expansion within the Authority's inventory; the most recent Capital Fund award covers April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, at $180,246, with prior Capital Fund grants awarded in May 2025, May 2024, February 2023, and May 2022. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.887) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management, routine and preventative maintenance, security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; the Authority received Operating Fund grants awarded in January 2026 (through December 31, 2032), January 2025 (through December 2031), January 2024 (through December 2030), and January 2023 (through December 2029). The Authority operates as the 100% prime recipient on all thirty-seven federal awards in the source data, with no subrecipient or subcontractor role. Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for all thirty-seven awards and one hundred percent of obligated dollars.

Activity has remained flat at approximately two awards annually over the past five years. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $4.7 million. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete points in the near term. Funding supports the Authority's compliance with the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended, and obligated funds must be tracked and expended in accordance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.
