City Of Kirkwood Local Housing Authority

City of Kirkwood Local Housing Authority, doing business as Kirkwood House, is a non-profit public housing authority based in Kirkwood, Missouri, that operates as a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization does not compete for federal contracts and does not serve as a prime or sub contractor; it receives direct grant funding exclusively under two HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund.

Kirkwood House's federal grant footprint centers entirely on HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The vendor has received 41 awards across two decades (first award in 2006), all from a single customer agency — 100% of recent awards derive from HUD PIH. The Capital Fund awards support public housing modernization, development, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and financing activities serving low-income residents in Kirkwood; the Operating Fund awards support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation. Recent representative grants include a $172,462 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund award effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. All awards are formula-based allocations calculated annually by HUD according to the Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than competitively awarded.

Activity has remained flat at two awards annually over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all 41 awards totaling $3.7 million. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. As a local public housing authority, Kirkwood House operates as a grant recipient rather than as a vendor in the traditional federal contracting sense; the organization does not subcontract federal work and maintains no parent vehicles or teaming relationships in the contract marketplace.
