Housing Authorities-St Louis

Housing Authorities-St Louis Housing Authority Of ST Louis County Division is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that serves as a federal grant recipient, administering public housing operations and capital improvements in the St. Louis County metropolitan area under formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The Housing Authority operates almost entirely as a prime grant recipient (97% of recent awards), with four sub-grant relationships routed through the Missouri Department of Public Safety and HUD's Community Development Block Grant program. The entity does not hold federal contracts or IDV seats; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based. The authority manages public housing serving the Normandy, Missouri area, with its resident population including elderly individuals, families with children, and persons with disabilities.

The Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) represents the largest share of recent awards, providing formula-based operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Recent Operating Fund awards include $158,409 (January 2026–December 2032), $187,092 (January 2026–December 2032), and $220,244 (January 2026–December 2032) grants. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital and modernization activities, including infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades; a representative award of $966,727 effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, funds capital improvements and eligible financing activities. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Coordinators delivering employment and economic mobility services; a $304,362 project grant (January–December 2026) supports coordinator positions serving public housing residents and Housing Choice Voucher participants.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is essentially singular—the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 114 of 120 awards (99% of activity) covering $51.7 million in combined dollars obligated. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Labor each contributed two to three smaller awards, primarily related to disaster recovery and emergency preparedness activities. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's near-term recompete pipeline for Operating Fund and Capital Fund renewals under HUD's formula allocation process. The authority also acts as a sub-recipient on Missouri Department of Public Safety grants, including awards related to HVAC equipment procurement for the Wellington Family Homes Project and other housing improvement initiatives.
