Low Rent Housing Agency Of Missouri Vall

Low Rent Housing Agency Of Missouri Vall, doing business as Culavin Heights, is a not-for-profit public housing authority based in Missouri Valley, Iowa, that operates as a direct recipient of federal housing 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 contractor or subcontractor to the federal government; it functions exclusively as a grant recipient administering public housing programs in its local jurisdiction.

Culavin Heights receives formula-based allocations under two primary HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities for the agency's public housing portfolio, including modernization of existing units, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the housing inventory. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Culavin Heights deploys these funds according to its HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan and must maintain compliance with the Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200.

The organization's recent award activity shows a steady rhythm of recurring formula grants. Over the past five years, Culavin Heights has received two awards annually — a pattern consistent with the structure of HUD's Public Housing programs, which issue capital and operating grants on staggered schedules. The combined dollars obligated across all 24 awards in the source data total $1.6 million. Specific recent awards include a $114,438 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant issued January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a prior Public Housing Capital Fund award issued May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029. All funding flows from a single customer agency — the Department of Housing and Urban Development — and all work is performed as a prime recipient with no subrecipient relationships. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, positioning Culavin Heights to receive successor grants under the same formula programs.
