Ponca City Housing Authority

Ponca City Housing Authority, a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing agency based in Ponca City, Oklahoma, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital modernization, infrastructure, and operating subsidies. The authority receives recurring annual grants under two core HUD programs and operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contracting activity.

Ponca City Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants distributed through the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). These programs provide capital financing and operating subsidies to support modernization, development, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, emergency repairs, facility management, and day-to-day operational expenses for public housing units serving low-income residents. The authority's recent awards include a $534,085 Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion on March 31, 2030; a $228,781 Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and prior capital and operating grants running back to 2022. Capital funds are restricted to eligible activities specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work; operating subsidies fund property management, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.

The authority's grant footprint shows stable annual activity — two awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — with $14.5 million obligated across forty-one total awards since 2006. All forty-one awards are prime grants (100% of activity); the authority has no subrecipient or contracting relationships. Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole funding agency across the entire portfolio. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's standard grant-renewal cycle under formula allocation rather than a recompete scenario.
