Keota Housing Authority

Keota Housing Authority, a local government housing authority headquartered in Keota, Oklahoma, is a formula grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating exclusively as a prime recipient with no federal contract prime work or subcontract activity. The authority receives federal grants to administer public housing capital improvements, operating expenses, and management activities under the Public Housing Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.887), serving as the direct recipient of all 38 federal awards in its recent portfolio.

Keota Housing Authority's grant work centers on public housing modernization, development, and day-to-day operational funding. Recent grants include a Public Housing Capital Fund award granted May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion in May 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund award granted January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund award granted April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030. Capital Fund grants support construction, acquisition, and reconfiguration of public housing units, routine and preventative maintenance, and management improvements, while Operating Fund grants cover personnel, maintenance labor, utilities, insurance, debt service, anti-crime activities, and resident supportive services under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and 24 CFR Part 905.

Keota Housing Authority's customer concentration is monolithic: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole funding source across all 38 awards (100% of the portfolio). Activity has remained flat at two grants per year across the past five years, with annual obligations totaling approximately $1.4 million across the entire award footprint. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. The authority operates as a direct grant recipient rather than a prime contractor or subcontractor on federal contracts, positioning it outside the federal procurement competition space and as a pass-through administrator of HUD capital and operating subsidies for its local public housing inventory.
