Housing Authority Of Covington

Housing Authority Of Covington, a U.S. government entity and public housing authority based in Covington, Kentucky, is the recipient of federal formula grants and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating entirely as a grant recipient with no federal contracts or subcontractor arrangements. The authority does not compete for work; it receives direct allocations under statutory housing programs serving low-income residents.

Housing Authority Of Covington's federal funding footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across three core grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula-based subsidies supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine 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) supplies formula grants for capital improvements, modernization, development, and financing activities on the authority's inventory of public housing units. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA) funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support employment-focused services for public housing residents, Housing Choice Voucher holders, and project-based rental assistance participants. The authority also participates in the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, which supports employment and economic mobility programming. Over the past several years, the authority has received 231 awards, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with recent annual volume ranging from 11 to 13 awards and combined potential value of $110.5 million across all awards. Recent representative grants include a $2,727,803 Public Housing Capital Fund award (April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2030), recurring Public Housing Operating Fund grants ranging from $231 thousand to $522 thousand (January 1, 2025–December 31, 2031 performance periods), and Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grants (January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2026). Thirteen awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, reflecting the rolling nature of annual formula allocations and multi-year capital cycles. As a government entity rather than a contractor, Housing Authority Of Covington operates under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, maintains compliance with HUD audit and inventory management requirements, and allocates all capital funds exclusively toward eligible activities specified in its HUD-approved five-year action plan or emergency work.
