Williamsburg Housing Authority

Williamsburg Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Williamsburg, Kentucky, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing stock in the Williamsburg community. As a recipient of federal grants (100% of recent awards), the Housing Authority does not compete for federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor; it operates exclusively under HUD's formula grant programs directed to public housing agencies.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within a single customer agency—HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office—across two primary grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including facility modernization, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements. Recent awards include a $723,177 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a $288,680 Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Both awards are formula-based allocations, not competitive applications, calculated according to HUD's methodology based on housing inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Housing Authority is required to maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and accurate HUD Information Management System records to maintain eligibility.

Activity is steady at two grants per year across 2022–2026, with combined dollars obligated of $17.2 million across thirty-six awards since 2006. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering renewal or replacement in HUD's annual formula grant cycles. As a government entity administering federal housing assistance, the Williamsburg Housing Authority functions as a pass-through recipient managing federal funds for public housing operations and capital improvements rather than as a vendor competing for procurement or service-delivery contracts.
