Housing Authority Of Kansas City Kansas

Housing Authority Of Kansas City Kansas (doing business as KCK Housing Authority) is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas, that operates as a recipient of federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, exclusively serving HUD public housing programs with no subcontracting role.

KCK Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula and project grants distributed by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under four primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) dominates the portfolio, providing recurring annual subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses—property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. Recent operating-fund awards span January 2025 through December 2031 and include individual allocations of $975,695, $717,838, $717,717, $634,044, $585,455, and $508,477. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for modernization, development, and management improvements to the authority's public housing inventory, with a four-year award of $7.32 million effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a smaller $187,500 emergency safety-and-security allocation awarded September 18, 2025 for non-presidentially declared natural disaster work. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds FSS Program Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs, with a $260,018 project grant awarded January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The authority also holds a Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative project grant awarded June 1, 2025 with completion through May 31, 2028, supporting economic advancement initiatives at public housing developments.

The authority's grant activity runs at roughly ten to twelve awards per year, with 273 total awards in the source data spanning from July 2006 through April 2026 and combined obligated dollars of $247.8 million. All awards originate from a single customer: the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office. Twelve awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing routine grant renewal cycles for operating subsidies and capital funding allocations. KCK Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient—no federal contracts, IDVs, or subcontracting activity appears in the award record. The authority's role is to deploy federal subsidies for public housing operations and capital improvements serving lower-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities in the Kansas City, Kansas metropolitan area, operating approximately 902,436 public housing households nationwide as part of the broader HUD public housing system.
