Housing Authority Of Kansas City, Mo

Housing Authority of Kansas City, Mo is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that receives federal formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to develop, operate, modernize, and manage public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents across the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The Housing Authority operates entirely as a grant recipient, holding 411 prime federal awards spanning more than two decades with no subcontract footprint. Its customer base is concentrated almost entirely within HUD — the Public and Indian Housing Office holds 395 of 411 awards (96% coverage) — with marginal activity from HUD's Community Planning and Development office, the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, HUD's Policy Development and Research office, and HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $228.8 million, with annual award volume averaging 20 grants per year across the past five years and trending slightly downward from 22 awards in 2022 to 18 in 2026.

The Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on four primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) delivers formula grants providing operating subsidies for day-to-day housing management, maintenance, anti-crime initiatives, energy costs, resident services, insurance, and debt service — the Authority received multiple Operating Fund allocations across fiscal years 2022–2032 ranging from $101,562 to $925,062 per tranche. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital modernization, development, acquisition, and infrastructure improvements; recent awards include a $5.1 million allocation for April 2026–March 2030 and a $2.67 million allocation for February–May 2024 through February 2028. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to deliver employment and economic mobility services to public housing and Housing Choice Voucher residents; the Authority received a $336,480 project grant for 2026 and prior annual allocations in 2024, 2023, and 2022. The Housing Authority also holds a JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative project grant (June 2025–May 2028) supporting employment services and a Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grant (September 2023–December 2025) supporting neighborhood revitalization. A single radon testing and mitigation project grant from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes (April 2024–April 2027) rounds out the portfolio.

Twenty-four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure concentrated in the Operating Fund and Capital Fund programs driven by annual formula allocations and multi-year capital cycles. Award activity has remained stable without significant growth trajectory, reflecting the formula-driven nature of HUD's core public housing funding streams.
