Housing Authority Of County Of Warre

Housing Authority Of County Of Warre, doing business as Warren County Housing Authority, is a county-level U.S. government entity and public housing authority based in Warren, Pennsylvania, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and modernize public housing stock serving low-income residents across Warren County. The Authority acts exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor, with no contract prime or subcontract activity in its award footprint.

The Authority's federal funding derives entirely from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office and centers on two formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades that maintain decent, safe, and sanitary conditions for the Authority's public housing inventory. Recent awards include a $198,705 Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, a $806,607 Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 with completion by March 31, 2030, and a prior Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with completion by May 12, 2029. The Authority has received fifty-seven formula grants dating to 2006, with combined dollars obligated of $19.9 million.

Customer concentration is absolute: all fifty-seven awards come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, reflecting the mandatory formula-grant structure under which approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide administer federal assistance to serve roughly one million public housing units. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the Authority's recompete exposure in that window. The Authority's recipient posture is non-competitive; allocation is formula-driven and tied to the size and composition of its public housing stock and eligible operational needs, consistent with the statutory framework under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended. The Authority serves approximately forty-four percent elderly residents and thirty-five percent families with children across its public housing portfolio in Warren County.
