Housing Authority ST Charles

Housing Authority ST Charles (doing business as Saint Charles Housing Authority) is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in St. Charles, Missouri that receives formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing inventory and deliver employment services to residents. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards are prime grants), with no federal contracting footprint and no subcontracting relationships.

Saint Charles Housing Authority's entire federal engagement flows through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across three recurring grant programs. The authority is a recipient under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), a formula grant program funding capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure upgrades, and development of public housing units; recent awards include a $170,355 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a prior capital fund award dated May 6, 2024 running through May 5, 2028. The authority also receives formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund program, which covers day-to-day operational expenses including management and maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; the most recent operating fund award is dated January 1, 2025 with completion December 31, 2031. Additionally, the Housing Authority is a recipient under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), a project grant funding FSS Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to deliver employment and economic mobility services; the most recent FSS award is dated January 1, 2026 for $197,302, supporting coordinators who enroll families, develop individualized training plans, and build partnerships with employers and service providers within St. Charles.

Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (by mid-2028), creating routine recompete cycles under HUD's formula and project grant renewal processes.
