Raleigh County Housing Authority

Raleigh County Housing Authority, a U.S. county-level local government entity headquartered in Beckley, West Virginia, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities across Raleigh County. The authority does not compete for federal contracts; it operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD's statutory Public Housing programs.

Raleigh County Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The operating fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The capital fund grants finance public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities that add to or reconfigure the agency's housing inventory, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and acquisition or construction activities. Recent representative awards include a $171,099 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $159,320 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and capital fund grants awarded May 13, 2025 and May 6, 2024, each running four years. The authority operates approximately 6,000 housing units and functions independently without identified sub-contractors in administering these grants.

The authority's customer concentration is absolute: 100% of 41 awards across the past two decades have been issued by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $7.9 million, with a consistent cadence of two new awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months, representing the standard recompete cycle for HUD formula grants. This profile reflects Raleigh County Housing Authority's statutory role as a pass-through recipient for HUD entitlement funding rather than a competitive federal contractor or service provider.
