Housing Authority Of Monticello

Housing Authority of Monticello is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Monticello, Kentucky, that receives federal grant awards from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements. The authority acts as a grant recipient (100% of its federal footprint) rather than a federal contractor, with all forty-one awards spanning the past twenty years issued exclusively by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The authority's grant portfolio consists entirely of formula allocations under two programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating fund awards support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. Capital fund awards finance construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, modernization, development activities, and related financing costs. Recent awards include a $124,526 operating fund allocation (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) and a $347,841 capital fund allocation (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), both formula-based grants distributed to the authority's share of the national programs that serve approximately 6,000 housing authorities and 1.59 million public housing residents nationwide.

The authority's combined dollars obligated across all federal grants total $8.8 million, with steady activity at two awards annually over the past five years. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the authority to formula-grant reallocation cycles at HUD's discretion. As a recipient of federal housing subsidies rather than a competitive contractor, the authority operates under 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards) and maintains compliance with the Public Housing Capital Fund regulations and the Housing Act of 1937.
