Housing Authority Providence

Housing Authority Providence, doing business as Westview Apartments, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Providence, Kentucky, that receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to support public housing operations and capital improvements. The entity is a 100% prime recipient of formula grants under HUD's Public Housing Operating Fund and Public Housing Capital Fund programs (CFDA 14.872); it does not hold federal contracts and does not operate as a subcontractor.

Housing Authority Providence's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 35 awards in the source data. The recipient operates as a formula-grant entity rather than a competitive-procurement participant — all awards are allocations calculated under established formulas reflecting the authority's inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Combined obligated dollars across the award portfolio total $5.4 million over approximately twenty years of activity. Recent grants include a $202,929 Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, physical structure enhancements, and energy efficiency upgrades across the organization's public housing portfolio; a Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services; and a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029, with similar capital improvement scope. Activity has remained consistent at approximately two awards per year over the past five years. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting potential recompete or renewal cycles under HUD's formula-grant cycle. Housing Authority Providence operates public housing units serving low-income residents in Providence, Kentucky, and participates in the broader network of approximately 6,000 public housing authorities serving 1.59 million residents nationwide under HUD's $5 billion Public Housing Operating Fund program.
