Keokuk Housing Authority

Keokuk Housing Authority, a local government entity based in Keokuk, Iowa, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving formula grants to fund public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents.

Keokuk Housing Authority is structured as a U.S. local government housing authority with no federal contract prime awards or subcontract involvement — the entity operates entirely as a grant recipient. The authority receives recurring formula allocations under two primary 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 expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund awards finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades, with spending constrained to eligible activities outlined in an approved five-year action plan or emergency work necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters.

The authority's recent grant portfolio reflects consistent annual allocations. Two awards reached completion in the most recent twelve months (as of July 2026): a Public Housing Operating Fund award for January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031, and a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029. An earlier Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024 runs through May 5, 2028. The authority received a new operating subsidy effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The most recent award, dated April 1, 2026, is a Capital Fund allocation of $513,782 running through March 31, 2030. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require renewal or reallocation. Across the source data spanning from 2006 through April 2026, the authority has received 41 formula grant awards totaling $14.4 million in obligated dollars, with two awards issued per year in 2022 through 2026. All awards originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office; the authority does not operate as a federal contractor, hold seats on government-wide vehicles, or pursue subcontract work.
