Paintsville Housing Authority

Paintsville Housing Authority, a local government entity headquartered in Paintsville, Kentucky, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing capital improvements and operating expenses across its service area. The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no federal contracting prime or subcontracting footprint; all sixty awards in the past two decades originate from HUD's two primary public housing grant vehicles: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850).

Paintsville Housing Authority's recent grant portfolio is narrowly concentrated. The Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for one hundred percent of the sixty awards, with activity steady at three awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Recent capital awards include $852,150 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (awarded April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2030) for modernization, infrastructure repairs, and facility upgrades in support of the authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan. Operating Fund grants run continuously; the authority holds multiple overlapping operating grants, including a $159,863 award (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) and a $186,432 award (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), both supporting property management, routine maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy management, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for public housing units serving elderly residents, families with children, and individuals with disabilities in Johnson County.

Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $22.1 million over the source period. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a local housing authority, Paintsville operates under formula grant provisions rather than competitive procurements; its grant receipts are determined by HUD's allocation methodology and eligible activities are restricted to those specified in 24 CFR Part 905 (capital improvements) and the Housing Act of 1937 (operations and maintenance). The authority serves approximately 902,436 public housing households nationwide through the broader Capital and Operating Fund programs, with Paintsville's portfolio supporting lower-income residents in its Kentucky service area.
