Mankato Housing Authority

Mankato Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Mankato, Kansas, acts as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving formula grants to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, development, and day-to-day operating expenses for its public housing portfolio.

Mankato Housing Authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contracts or subcontract involvement. The entity has received thirty-eight formula grant awards spanning two decades, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no other federal customer agencies represented in the award footprint. The combined obligated value across all awards totals $1.4 million.

The grant portfolio consists of recurring formula grants under two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (OPFUND) provides annual subsidies to cover management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses; recent awards include a formula grant awarded January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031) and a prior award from January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) finances capital and management activities including public housing development, modernization, and financing; recent capital fund recipients include an award dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), an award from May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and an award from May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028). All awards are assistance-type formula grants, meaning they flow to Mankato Housing Authority as an eligible public housing agency under Section 9(D) of the United States Housing Act of 1937.

Activity has remained stable at two awards per year over the past five years (2022 through 2026). Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete action in that window. The vendor's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated with a single grantor agency; all competitive pipeline and customer development opportunity lies within HUD's housing programs rather than across multiple federal customers or contract vehicles.
