Housing Authority Of Dry Ridge

Housing Authority Of Dry Ridge, doing business as Meadow View Estates, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, that receives federal operating and capital grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing inventory serving low-income residents. The authority operates as a prime grant recipient exclusively — all 40 awards in the recent portfolio are direct HUD formula grants with no subcontracting activity.

The Housing Authority Of Dry Ridge operates entirely within two HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies covering day-to-day 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) funds capital and management activities including housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities within the authority's portfolio. Current active grants include a Public Housing Operating Fund award of $118,602 running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a Public Housing Capital Fund award of $200,675 running April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. Prior capital and operating grants span completion dates through 2031 and 2032. All funding is allocated through HUD's formula-based methodology reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application. Expenditures are subject to compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and capital funds may be deployed according to the authority's approved 5-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work and disaster-related repairs.

The authority's federal footprint shows consistent annual activity — two awards per year across 2022–2026 — with combined dollars obligated across all forty awards totaling $6.5 million. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards fund the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority serves as a public housing operator for Meadow View Estates properties in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, providing cost-effective, decent, safe, and affordable housing to lower-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities within the broader national program serving approximately 902,436 public housing households across roughly 6,000 housing authorities.
