American Falls Housing Author

American Falls Housing Authority of the City of American Falls is a U.S. local government housing authority based in American Falls, Idaho that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements. The entity operates as a prime recipient of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source; awards effective January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2032) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872; awards spanning May 2022 through March 2030). As a government entity, American Falls Housing Authority does not compete for federal contracts and maintains no federal contract vehicle seats.

The housing authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — all 22 awards in the source data are formula-grant allocations from that single customer agency. The Operating Fund awards support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Capital Fund awards provide allocations for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure enhancements in accordance with the authority's 5-Year Action Plan and 24 CFR 905.200. Both award types are formula-based allocations determined by HUD using criteria reflecting the PHA's public housing inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs — no competitive application is required. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200) and applicable audit and reporting requirements throughout each award period.

Recent grant activity shows a steady two-award-per-year cadence across 2022 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated across all 22 awards totaling $1.9 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months: the Capital Fund award effective May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028) and the Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030). As a local government entity receiving recurring formula allocations rather than competing for contracts or sub-awards, American Falls Housing Authority operates outside the typical federal contractor competitive landscape.
