Housing Authority Of City Of Galena

Housing Authority Of City Of Galena (doing business as Galena Housing Authority), a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Galena, Kansas, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund operating expenses and capital improvements for its public housing inventory. The organization does not hold federal contracts or act as a contractor or subcontractor; it operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under HUD's Public Housing Operating Fund (PHOPFUND) and Public Housing Capital Fund programs.

Galena Housing Authority's federal footprint is entirely tied to HUD's housing programs. All 42 awards in the source data flow from the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office, with no sub-award relationships or prime contracting activity. The organization has received $3.3 million in combined obligated dollars across recent awards. Recent grant activity includes a Public Housing Operating Fund award issued January 1, 2026 (ultimate completion December 31, 2032), a Public Housing Capital Fund award issued May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029), and a Public Housing Capital Fund award of $104,535 issued April 1, 2026 (ultimate completion March 31, 2030). These formula grants support day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service, as well as capital activities including public housing development, modernization, construction, acquisition of additional units, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to the authority's housing inventory.

The Public Housing Operating Fund is a $5 billion program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationwide; the Public Housing Capital Fund distributes to roughly 2,770 public housing agencies managing nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. Galena Housing Authority operates as a formula-grant recipient — non-competitive, allocation-based awards with no procurement or contracting component. The organization operates in compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and must align capital activities with its HUD-approved 5-year action plan or obtain HUD approval for emergency work. Two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's recompete cycle for those specific formula allocations.
