Housing Authority Of The City Of Winona

Housing Authority of the City of Winona, doing business as Winona Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing agency based in Winona, Mississippi that receives federal formula grants as the direct recipient for public housing operations and capital improvements. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contracting footprint and no subcontracting relationships across its recent award portfolio.

The Winona Housing Authority's federal funding stream consists entirely of formula-based grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs required under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Capital Fund awards fund public housing modernization, development, management improvements, unit rehabilitation, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements. Recent awards include a $394,300 Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 (performance through December 31, 2032), a $503,878 Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 (performance through March 31, 2030), and a Capital Fund award issued May 13, 2025 (performance through May 12, 2029). All work is performed in Winona, Mississippi with no sub-awardee pass-through arrangements; the authority operates as a direct recipient of HUD funding serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in its public housing inventory.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 47 of 48 recent awards (98% of the portfolio). The authority has received formula grants continuously since 2006, with activity averaging two awards annually over the past five years. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $16 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete in that window. The authority operates as a standalone public housing agency recipient and maintains no federal contracting prime or subcontracting relationships; it is not a vendor to federal contractors and does not pursue competitive solicitations.
