Housing Authority Of Bowling Green

Housing Authority of Bowling Green, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Bowling Green, Kentucky, receives federal formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and modernize its public housing stock, functioning as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The authority does not hold federal contracts or serve as a prime or subcontractor on procurements; its federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants for public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident self-sufficiency programming.

The authority's grant portfolio centers on three core HUD programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities. Recent operating fund awards include a $331,959 grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and a parallel $181,469 award over the same performance period. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) funds capital and modernization activities, including infrastructure improvements, unit development, and mixed-finance debt service; the authority received a $2,097,561 capital fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and earlier awards dated May 2024 and May 2025. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program funds FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support resident employment and self-sufficiency; awards cover calendar years or multi-year periods, with grants in 2025, 2024, and 2023. The authority also received a project grant for radon interventions in public and assisted multifamily housing from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, awarded August 15, 2023, through August 15, 2026.

Activity is consistent and modest in volume. Over the past five years, the authority averaged four to six awards per year, with 85 total awards recorded across the source data window. All federal funding flows from HUD; the Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 81 awards (95% of the portfolio), with three sub-awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (CFDA 93.558), passed through the Kentucky Cabinet for Health Services. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $54.4 million. Five awards face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete activity in that window. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold IDV seats, parent vehicles, or subcontracting positions in federal procurements.
