Housing Authority Of The City Of Key West Florida

Housing Authority Of The City Of Key West Florida is a U.S. local government entity (city housing authority) that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient to operate and modernize low-income public housing in Key West, Florida; the organization does not compete for federal contracts and acts exclusively as a grant recipient, not a contractor or subcontractor.

The Housing Authority's federal award footprint is entirely dependent on HUD formula grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.839) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which together account for 50 of the organization's 51 federal grants. Operating Fund grants, distributed annually on January 1 and running through December 31, support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administration. Capital Fund grants, distributed on staggered cycles (most recently May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029 for $1.71 million), fund infrastructure improvements including physical modernization, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development of additional public housing units. The Housing Authority also received one project grant (awarded January 19, 2023, running through August 31, 2030) under Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. All activity is with HUD: the Public and Indian Housing Office administers 50 awards and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development administers 1 award, representing 100% of the organization's federal footprint.

The Housing Authority has obligated $26.2 million across 51 grants since the beginning of the source data in 2006, with relatively flat annual activity over the past five years (three awards per year in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026). Three grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will cycle for renewal through standard HUD formula-grant mechanisms. As a municipal housing authority, the organization is a service delivery partner to HUD rather than a vendor competing against contractors; business development professionals at federal contractors should not view this entity as either a competitor or a teaming opportunity for federal contract work.
