Mckean Co Housing

Mckean Co Housing, a county-level housing authority and U.S. government entity headquartered in Smethport, Pennsylvania, receives federal grant funding from HUD as a direct recipient across two program areas: public housing operations and capital improvements, and homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing. The organization does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards), with no subcontractor or sub-recipient role.

Mckean Co Housing' federal footprint is entirely concentrated within the Department of Housing and Urban Development across two funding streams. The Public and Indian Housing Office funds the bulk of its activity—70 awards spanning formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872)—while the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awards 12 project grants under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). Recent awards include a $915,780 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 2026, completion March 2030) for modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development of public housing units; three separate Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants in 2026 ranging from $113,932 to $151,089 (completion December 2032) for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses; and a $724,858 Continuum of Care project grant (November 2025, completion October 2026) supporting permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families in McKean County.

Activity has remained steady at 4–6 awards per year over the past five years, with 82 total awards obligating $31.6 million since 2006. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, generating potential recompete activity for successor funding. The organization's work centers on maintaining public housing stock, providing rental assistance, case management, energy cost management, anti-crime initiatives, and resident supportive services for low-income, elderly, and disabled populations in the Smethport area. The CoC Program awards expand this scope to include homeless management information systems, housing acquisition and rehabilitation, and transitional housing operations.
