City Of Romney Public Housing Authority

City Of Romney Public Housing Authority operates as a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund awards to support public housing operations and modernization in Romney, West Virginia. The authority is a U.S. local government entity and housing authority with no prime federal contracts; all federal funding arrives through HUD grant programs (CFDA 14.872 for capital improvements and CFDA 14.850 for operating expenses).

The authority's grant portfolio is entirely concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued forty awards over the past two decades. Recent grant work includes a $210,999 formula grant under the Public Housing Capital Fund effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting modernization, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs to the authority's public housing inventory; and a $105,691 formula grant under the Public Housing Operating Fund effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. A prior Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024, carried an ultimate completion date of May 5, 2028. Capital funds may only be used for eligible activities described in 24 CFR Part 905, either through projects outlined in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency and disaster-related repairs.

The authority receives funding as a formula-grant recipient rather than through competitive procurement, meaning it qualifies for recurring annual allocations based on statutory formulas rather than competitive selection. Total dollars obligated across all forty awards in the source data span to $6.3 million. Activity has remained stable at two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to renewal or reallocation under HUD's formula-grant cycle.
