Osborne Housing Authority

Osborne Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Osborne, Kansas, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively within the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office grant portfolio. The Authority acts as a prime recipient on formula grants supporting public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies; it holds no federal contracts and does not serve as a subcontractor or sub-recipient.

Osborne Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office grants awarded under two programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.873). The Capital Fund program provides financial assistance for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and related eligible activities as described in 24 CFR Part 905. The Operating Fund program provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Representative recent awards include a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion in May 2029, an Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 with ultimate completion in December 2032, and a Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 with ultimate completion in March 2030.

The Authority's customer concentration is absolute: 100% of its 35 awards over the source period derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated at $2.6 million. Activity has remained flat across the past five years, averaging two awards per year in 2022 through 2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing routine recompete cycles under HUD's annual and multi-year grant allocation formulas. The Authority does not compete for federal contracts, serve as a federal contractor prime or sub, or participate in IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. Its role is limited to administration of federal housing subsidies and capital improvement grants for public housing units serving Osborne-area residents under the Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
