Housing Authority Of Stafford

Housing Authority Of Stafford, a local government entity headquartered in Stafford, Kansas, receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund programs; the entity does not contract as a vendor and does not operate as a prime or sub on federal contracts, but rather serves as a grant recipient administering public housing operations and capital improvements.

Housing Authority Of Stafford is a U.S. local government entity structured as a public housing authority. The entity has no federal contract vehicles, no prime contractor awardees, and no subcontracting footprint. Its federal engagement is limited to formula grants distributed by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Since 2006, the entity has received 38 formula grants totaling $2 million in obligated dollars, all from a single source — HUD Public and Indian Housing Office — reflecting the statutory formula-grant structure of public housing funding rather than competitive procurement.

The entity's grant portfolio splits between two HUD program streams. Public Housing Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, management and administrative costs, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Public Housing Capital Fund grants underwrite public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and capital activities including construction and acquisition of additional units. Recent capital grants include awards dated May 13, 2025 (completion March 31, 2029), May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028), and February 17, 2023 (completion February 16, 2027). Recent operating grants include awards dated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), January 1, 2024 (two separate awards, both completing December 31, 2028), and January 1, 2022 (completion December 31, 2028). All grants are formula-driven awards under 24 CFR Part 905 and Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, not competitive solicitations.

Award frequency has been sporadic — two per year in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and two in the first four months of 2026 — with no growth trajectory. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require renewal or recompete activity. Housing Authority Of Stafford has no federal contract vehicle presence and operates exclusively within HUD's direct grant pipeline; it is not positioned to compete on commercial federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor to defense or civilian agencies.
