Housing Authority Of The City Of Vandalia

Housing Authority Of The City Of Vandalia is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Vandalia, Missouri, that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer public housing operations and capital improvements.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contract work. Since 2006, the organization has received forty formula grants totaling $6.2 million in combined federal obligations, all from a single customer agency—HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office—making this a fully concentrated, single-customer funding footprint. The Housing Authority does not serve as a subrecipient on other entities' grants and does not subcontract federal work; one hundred percent of its federal awards are prime grants received directly from HUD.

The Housing Authority's federal funding splits between two recurring HUD grant programs. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the organization has received multiple operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses of its public housing dwellings, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. A representative operating grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 carries $100,028 in federal support. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the Housing Authority has received capital grants to fund modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of public housing units, and management enhancements as specified in HUD-approved five-year action plans. A representative capital grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 carries $239,408 in federal support. Capital funds support eligible activities including construction and acquisition of additional units, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and financing-related costs under 24 CFR Part 905. Both grant programs operate on consistent award cadence—two grants per year across 2022 through 2026—with ultimate completion dates ranging from 2026 through 2032. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete or renewal opportunities. All expenditures must comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200, and the Housing Authority maintains records of budgets and cumulative costs for HUD audit review.
