Housing Authority Armstrong

Housing Authority Armstrong, a U.S. local government housing authority located in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, is the recipient of federal formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (HUD PIH) for public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident self-sufficiency programs. The organization receives 100% of its federal funding through direct grants from a single customer—HUD PIH—with no contracting activity and no subcontractor relationships.

Housing Authority Armstrong operates exclusively as a grant recipient under three primary HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula allocations supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units in Kittanning and Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) delivers formula grants for capital and management activities, enabling modernization of existing units, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency enhancements, and development of additional public housing inventory. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act) funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who enroll and maintain families in employment and training programs, working with families to develop individual training and services plans and building partnerships with community employers and service providers.

Over the past several years, Housing Authority Armstrong has received a steady baseline of approximately five awards per year across all three programs, with a combined obligation history of approximately $42 million. Recent awards include a $1,417,067 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026 for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, multiple Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants awarded January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026 with completion dates ranging through December 2032, and recurring Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grants (most recently January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026). Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the organization's standard recompete cycle under HUD's formula grant methodology. The organization submits operating and capital fund calculation forms (HUD-52723 and HUD-52722) to receive its proportional allocations based on established formulas tied to public housing inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs, operating under an Annual Contribution Contract with HUD and complying with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.
