Housing Authority Of City Of Holton

Housing Authority of the City of Holton, doing business as Southern Heights Housing Auth, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Holton, Kansas, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime recipient. The organization does not function as a federal contractor or subcontractor; it operates as a direct recipient of HUD formula grants for public housing operations and capital improvements.

The award portfolio consists exclusively of grant funding from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across two primary federal grant programs. Southern Heights Housing Auth is a recipient of Public Housing Operating Fund grants (CFDA component under Public and Indian Housing), which provide annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation expenses. The organization is also a recipient of Public Housing Capital Fund formula grants, which provide financial assistance for capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and maintenance. Representative recent grants include a $149,217 Public Housing Capital Fund award issued April 1, 2026, with ultimate completion March 31, 2030, and a Public Housing Operating Fund award issued January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032. All work is performed in Holton, Kansas, with no identified sub-recipients under these awards.

Southern Heights Housing Auth serves a single federal customer — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — accounting for all 39 awards in the portfolio. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.6 million. The organization receives formula-based grants on a recurring annual or multi-year cycle; recent activity shows two awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating routine recompete cycles tied to HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund and Operating Fund grant cycles. As a local government entity and housing authority, Southern Heights Housing Auth operates independently within the federal public housing system serving low-income residents in Holton.
