Housing Authority Of Mccreary County

Housing Authority of McCreary County is a U.S. government entity and public housing authority based in Pine Knot, Kentucky that operates as a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no prime contracting footprint and no subcontracting activity.

The Housing Authority's entire federal award portfolio consists of 41 formula grants across two HUD programs spanning the past twenty years. The authority receives recurring allocations under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in award descriptions), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing, including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The authority also receives formula allocations under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports capital and modernization activities including public housing development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and management enhancements as specified in approved five-year action plans. Recent grants include a $222,744 Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026 running through March 31, 2030, a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. All grants are formula-based allocations calculated by HUD using established methodologies reflecting public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than competitive procurements.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute: 100% of all 41 awards fund the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, the sole federal grantor serving this entity. Combined obligated dollars across all grants total $5.9 million over the twenty-year award history. Activity remains flat at two awards per year across the most recent five years (2022 through 2026). Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal activity. The Housing Authority does not serve as a prime contractor, does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, and does not subcontract to or partner with commercial vendors; it operates solely as a direct grant recipient administering public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents in McCreary County.
